TRUNK
Opening
The trunk can be opened from inside the vehicle using the power trunk button located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel.
The trunk lid can be released from outside the vehicle by pushing the trunk button on the key fob twice within five seconds or by using the external release switch located on the underside of the decklid overhang. The release feature will function only when the vehicle is in the unlock condition.
With the ignition in the ON/RUN position, the trunk open symbol will display in the instrument cluster indicating that the trunk is open. The odometer display will reappear once the trunk is closed.
With the ignition in the OFF position, the trunk open symbol will display until the trunk is closed.
NOTE: Refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry” in ”Doors” in “Getting To Know Your Vehicle” for further information on trunk operation with the Passive Entry feature.

Cargo Area — Vehicles Equipped With 60/40 Split-Folding Rear Seat
The 60/40 split-folding rear seat provides cargo-carrying versatility. The seatbacks fold down easily by pulling nylon tabs between the seatbacks and the bolsters. When the seats are folded down, they provide a continuous, nearly-flat extension of the load floor.
When the seatback is folded to the upright position, make sure it is latched by strongly pulling on the top of the seatback above the seat strap.
