1. Locate the manual trunk release lever: On the Chrysler 300, the manual trunk release lever is located on the interior driver's side footwell. It's usually near the driver's seat, under the dashboard.
2. Pull the manual trunk release lever: Pull the manual trunk release lever to release the trunk latch. This should disengage the trunk lock and allow you to open the trunk.
3. Manually open the trunk: Lift up on the trunk lid with your hand to open it manually. Be careful as the trunk lid may be heavy, especially if there are items in the trunk.
4. Replace the battery (if necessary): Once the trunk is open, you can proceed to replace the dead battery with a new one if needed. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual or consult with a professional for the correct procedure on how to replace the battery.
5. Close the trunk: After replacing the battery, ensure the trunk is properly closed by lowering the trunk lid and allowing the latch to engage.
Note: If the manual trunk release lever doesn't work, or if there's no power in the vehicle, you may need to use an alternative method, such as using the mechanical key to unlock the trunk if your vehicle is equipped with one. In such cases, consult the vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions on how to access the trunk without battery power.
