Emergency Trunk Release Handle

Notice: Do not use the emergency trunk release

Notice: Do not use the emergency trunk release handle as a tie-down or anchor point when securing items in the trunk as it could damage the handle.
The emergency trunk release handle is only intended to aid a person trapped in a latched trunk, enabling them to open the trunk from the inside.

There is a glow-in-the-dark emergency trunk release handle located inside the trunk near the latch.

This handle will glow following exposure to light.

Pull the release handle to open the trunk from the inside.
