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 Jaguar XF (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 locate a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Jaguar XF from the inside.
