1. Use the key: There is a slot in the trunk to unlock the trunk with the key.
2. Use the trunk release lever: There is a trunk release lever located inside the vehicle, usually located in the driver's footwell or passenger footwell. Use the key fob or press a button to open the trunk.
3. Disconnect the battery: Disconnecting the battery will reset the system and sometimes allows you to open the trunk.
4. Use a wire hanger: If neither the battery disconnect nor the key works, you can try to use a wire hanger or rod to pull the release latch. You can do this by bending a coat hanger or rod and inserting it through the trunk lock cylinder.
Here are some additional tips that may help:
- Make sure the key fob is in range and working properly.
- Try pressing the trunk release button several times.
- If the car is parked on an incline, try parking it on level ground and then trying to open the trunk.
- If you can’t open the trunk with the key fob, try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it.
