By constructing a Lyapunov function, a new instability result is established,which guarantees that the trivial solution of a certain nonlinear vector differential equation ofthe fifth order is unstable. An example is also given to illustrate the importance of the resultobtained. By this way, our findings improve an instability result related to a scalar differentialequation in the literature to instability of the trivial solution to the afore-mentioned differentialequation
