Trunk
{ CAUTION
It can be dangerous to drive
with the trunk lid open because
carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You
cannot see or smell CO. It can
cause unconsciousness and
even death. If you must drive
with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through
the seal between the body and
the trunk lid:
• Make sure all other windows
are shut.
• Turn the fan on your heating
or cooling system to its
highest speed and select the
control setting that will force
outside air into your vehicle.
See Climate Control System.
