Kia Forte: Trunk / Emergency trunk safety release

Your vehicle is equipped with an
emergency trunk release lever located
inside the trunk. If someone is
inadvertently locked in the trunk,
moving the handle in the direction of
the arrow will release the trunk latch
mechanism and open the trunk.
No one should be allowed to occupy
the trunk at any time. The trunk is a
very dangerous location in the event
of a crash.
Use the release lever for emergencies
only. Use extreme caution,
especially while the vehicle is in
motion.
To close, lower the trunk lid, then
press down on it until it locks. To be
sure the trunk lid is securely fastened,
always check by trying to pull
it up again.
