I was making light of the fact that we have a tiny trunk AND an emergency release latch in it... I did not plan on having to clarify

Are you telling me you don't have these in hong kong elises? That's so dangerous!tonyyoshi said:
On a more serious note. Maybe its for babies that get abducted and thrown into trunks.
I can imagine them tugging on the emergency release "Goo goo ga ga hee!"until the lid pops and help arrives.

You mean you actually touch the steering wheel? We get auto pilots and a Lexan cover over our steering wheels like in Jurassic Parktonyyoshi said:
Yes our laws go overboard in too many aspects.
The aluminum jack I bought came with material warning me not to jack up the car while it's moving....
They have to do things like this to avoid being sued. That is they have to include reading material which few even look at to protect themselves. That way when a Marching Moron hurts themself doing something dumb, they can't blame whoever made the item.
Heck even Lotus does this...the Owner's Manual specifically mentions not to remove or replace soft or hard top while driving around.
Warning: The soft or hard top roofs should be removed only whilst the car is safely parked. Do not attempt to remove the soft or hard top whilst the car is in motion.
Wow they had to say it both ways...make sure it is parked and make sure it is not in motion.

I forget which car it was, but I had one where all warnings/useless-lawyer-blab were background-shaded in orange, usually on their own page.
That was really cool because you could rip all those pages out of the 3-ring mini-spiral and have a useful manual.
Our new Toyota manual was at least 70% warning, 30% information. Pretty soon they can print it in two volumes and I can 'store' one of them.
