How to open trunk Ford Mondeo from the inside?

After going over the various factors why you might want to open the trunk of your Ford Mondeo from the inside, we will teach you how to do it in practice.

You may not be aware of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for security. This handle is hidden and many people are not even advised of its existence. However, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Ford Mondeo from the passenger compartment. To identify 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 Ford Mondeo (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 find a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Ford Mondeo 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.
