Pull handles in the trunks?
Sorry, dont have a manual....So I humbly ask...what do they do?
I am tempted to pull them but am afraid I will screw something up. |
Step 1: Lock yourself in the trunk
Step 2: Pull handle Step 3: see the light :dance: |
Emergency releases. :)
|
Seriously?
|
They are emergency releases but designed more for dead battery situations vs. kidnapped and thrown in the trunks . When the battery is dead the electronic locks don't work . There are ways to " jump " from the interior of the car . But if that doesn't work what do you do ? You pull on the cables and now you are in.

If you're in a "dead battery situation," how on earth do you pull handles located (along with the battery) INSIDE the trunk? |

Those interior pull handles in the trunk and frunk look like they are made of luminescent plastic, I wonder how long the glow lasts!

Post back results when glow goes out. Alternatively, you can also use your least favorite child ;) Rest assured lawmakers spent endless hours and millions of dollars defining some sort of standards which mandate the luminosity duration as well as brightness. :rolleyes: |
Just to be safe, pack a bottle of water, some crackers and a cell phone....you could be in there for a while.

More government added garbage to add weight and protect idiots from themselves.

So for me, every time I see that extra 16 ounces of extra weight you're complaining about, (it's a few feet of cable and a plastic handle) I think of that child, ..... and then I remind myself that it's okay to breathe again. |

And I would acknowledge the wisdom of your point, maytag...which you were posting about simultaneously with me. In the same vein, I never had any problem with requiring dumped fridges being rendered unlatchable.
To my friend's credit, I don't think she actually closed the lid! |
Yes I was referring to the first one shown by steve0x , to be honest I didn't realize our Boxsters had the other type . I'll have to check my 02 to see if it has them .

Nothing wrong with having the emergency releases. Think how 20+year old shock struts don't hold the trunks up in a breeze.
