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 many of us are not even conscious of its existence. On the other hand, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Buick LaCrosse from the passenger compartment. To situate 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 Buick LaCrosse (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the complete lock appear. Once this has been carried out, you should locate a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Buick LaCrosse 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 remember to put it back in position once you close your trunk.
