You may not be conscious of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for basic safety. This handle is hidden and most people are not even advised of its existence. However, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Fiat Panda 3 from the passenger compartment. To find 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 Fiat Panda 3 (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 identify a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Fiat Panda 3 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 put it back in position once you close your trunk.
