How to open trunk Audi Q3 from the inside?
After examining the various factors why you might want to open the trunk of your Audi Q3 from the inside, we will teach you how to do it in practice.
You may not be conscious of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for essential safety. This handle is hidden and most of us are not even informed of its existence. However, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Audi Q3 from the passenger compartment. To locate this “handle” you’ll have to get in the back seat (don’t be reluctant to fold it down for more space), and, at the trunk lock of your Audi Q3 (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the complete lock appear. Once this has been achieved, you should identify a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Audi Q3 from the inside. Be careful though, on many models if this lever keeps 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.
