How to open trunk Infiniti QX50 from the inside?

You may not be advised of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for basic safety. This handle is hidden and many people are not even informed of its existence. However, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Infiniti QX50 from the passenger compartment. To find 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 Infiniti QX50 (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the entire lock appear. Once this has been done, you should find a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Infiniti QX50 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 be sure to put it back in position once you close your trunk.
