A law has been enacted mandating all new passenger vehicles to have a release mechanism inside the trunk starting from September 1, 2001, to enhance child safety. This law allows for either a manual release latch or an automated system like a passive trunk release that can detect a person in the trunk and unlatch it automatically.
