TRUNK LID LATCH

• The trunk lid latch prevents a person from being 

confined in the luggage compartment in an acci-
dent.
You can open the trunk lid by pulling an emer-
gency trunk lid release handle to the arrow direc-
tion when you are confined in the luggage 
compartment in an accident.

• The emergency trunk lid release handle glows by 

absorbing light, so you can operate the handle 
even in a dark luggage compartment.
NOTE: The glow time depends on the amount of 
light absorption, but the handle will glow four 
hours maximum when exposed to sunlight for 30 
seconds or more. The glow performance 
depends on environmental conditions.

To the backside of trunk lid, the trunk lid stay damper
