How do you open the trunk manually on a Cadillac?

The method for manually opening a Cadillac trunk varies depending on the year and model. There isn't a single universal answer. However, here are the most common ways:

* Emergency Trunk Release Cable: Most Cadillacs have an emergency trunk release cable located inside the car, usually in the trunk's opening area (where you'd normally place your groceries) or underneath the rear seats. It's often a small, inconspicuous lever or pull-string. You'll have to either feel around or consult your owner's manual to locate it.

* Keyhole in Trunk Lid: Some older Cadillac models have a keyhole in the trunk lid itself. You can unlock the trunk using your Cadillac key.

* Through the rear seats (rare): On some models, you *might* be able to access the trunk latch mechanism by folding down rear seats, but this is uncommon and not reliable across all Cadillacs.

To find the specific method for YOUR Cadillac:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource. It will provide detailed instructions and diagrams for your specific year and model.

2. Search online: Use a search engine like Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo and search for "[Your Cadillac Year] [Your Cadillac Model] trunk emergency release." Be specific! Including the year and model is crucial. You might find helpful videos or forum posts from other Cadillac owners.

If you're locked out of your car and can't find the manual release, you may need to call a locksmith or roadside assistance.
