To open the trunk from the outside, press and hold the trunk release button on the RKE transmitter. You can also use the key in the trunk lock, except on retractable hardtop models.
Caution: Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle if it is driven with the liftgate, trunk/hatch open, or with any objects that pass through the seal between the body and the trunk/hatch or liftgate. Engine exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which cannot be seen or smelled. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If the vehicle must be driven with the liftgate, or trunk/hatch open:| • | Close all of the windows. |
| • | Fully open the air outlets on or under the instrument panel. |
| • | Adjust the Climate Control system to a setting that brings in only outside air and set the fan speed to the highest setting. See Climate Control System in the Index. |
| • | If the vehicle is equipped with a power liftgate, disable the power liftgate function. |
Remote Trunk Release
Press this button located on the driver's door near the map pocket to open the trunk.
You can open the trunk when the gear selector is in P (Park).
When the retractable hardtop is down and stowed in the trunk, the trunk open function will be disabled. When the ignition is on, the TRUNK NOT ALLOW message will be displayed on the DIC when attempting to open the trunk with the retractable hardtop stowed inside. See DIC Warnings and Messagesfor more information.
Emergency Trunk Release Handle
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 on the trunk latch. This handle will glow following exposure to light. Pull the release handle up to open the trunk from the inside.
