On the other hand, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Kia Stronic 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 Kia Stronic (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 Kia Stronic from the inside.
