2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Owners Manual - Rear hatch (ECLIPSE)/Trunk lid (ECLIPSE SPYDER)



Rear hatch (ECLIPSE)/Trunk lid (ECLIPSE SPYDER)

NOTE ● Locking/unlocking of the driver’s door by using the key-

less entry system also locks/unlocks the rear hatch or trunk lid.

To open

1. Press the rear hatch or trunk button (A) to open the rear hatch or trunk lid. The rear hatch or trunk lid will pop up slightly. Lift it from this point.

WARNING!

It is dangerous to drive with the rear hatch or trunk lid open since carbon monoxide (CO) gas can enter the cabin. CO is an invisible, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and even death.

CAUTION!

Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading

and unloading luggage. Heat from the exhaust could lead to burns.
