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.

•

The trunk lid inside handle is installed on the 
trunk lid to improve the trunk lid operation.

 All doors can be locked and unlocked and the 
trunk lid can be unlocked with the transmitter 
when its radio signals are received by the 
receiver with an antenna in the ETACS-ECU.

Locking and unlocking with the transmitter is con-
firmed using a hazard answerback function (illu-
minated or flashing turn-signal lights, dome light) 
or horn answerback function (honking of horn).
