Trunk Release Handle
There is a glow-in-the-dark trunk release
handle located inside the trunk on the latch.
This handle will glow following exposure to
light. Pull the release handle down to open
the trunk from inside.
Tie down eyes, SportSedan
There are tie down eyes in the trunk that
should be used to secure loads. In general,
loads should be placed as far forward and
as low down as possible in the trunk.
NOTE
The trunk release handle was not
designed to be used to tie down the trunk
lid or as an anchor point when securing
items in the trunk. Improper use of the
trunk release could damage it.
WARNING
• Lay heavy bags on the floor. Place
smaller and lighter bags on top.
• Secure heavy and bulky items using
the lashing eyes provided in the trunk.
This will avert the danger of luggage
flying around if the car should brake
suddenly or be involved in a crash.
• Secure small items if the backrest is
folded down. Small items can also be
thrown around inside the car and
cause personal injury.
• The elastic cargo net 3 is only
designed for light objects that are to be
kept in place while driving
• Elastic cargo net 3: WARNING. Avoid
eye injury. DO NOT overstretch.
ALWAYS keep face and body out of
recoil path. DO NOT use when strap
has visible signs of wear or damage.
• The rear seat must be in the upright
position to protect against load dis-
placement in the event of a crash.
