To locate this “handle” you’ll have to get in the back seat (don’t hesitate to fold it down for more space), and, at the trunk lock of your Acura RDX (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the complete lock appear. Once this has been conducted, you should locate a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Acura RDX from the inside. Be careful though, on many models if this lever remains in the open position you will not be able to lock your trunk when locking your car with the central locking system. So make sure to put it back in position once you close your trunk.
