* Interior Release: This is usually a button or lever located on the driver's side of the dashboard, often near the steering wheel or lower down near the center console. It might be labeled "Trunk," "Release," or have a trunk icon.
* Exterior Release: The exterior release is usually a small button or keyhole located on the trunk lid itself. Some models might have the button hidden, possibly under the Ford logo. Check carefully around the Ford emblem and the surrounding area.
If you can't find it using these descriptions, consult your owner's manual. It will have a diagram showing the exact location of both the interior and exterior trunk releases for your specific model.
