Opening the trunk lid from inside the trunk1

The vehicle is equipped with a fluorescent handle on the inside of the trunk lid that can be used in an emergency to open the trunk lid from the inside.

Pull the handle downward to release the trunk lid.
The trunk lid will open.
After use, the handle must be pushed back to its original position before the trunk lid can be closed.

 Note

The handle is not intended to be used to secure the trunk lid, e.g. when transporting long objects.

 Warning

  • Lock the doors and trunk lid when the vehicle is parked and keep the remote keys out of reach of children. Unsupervised children could lock themselves in the trunk and be injured.
  • On hot days, the temperature in the trunk and inside the vehicle could rise very quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures, even for a short time, could lead to heat-related injury or fatality. Small children are particularly at risk.
