How to open trunk Land Rover LR4 from the inside?

You may not be advised of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for safety. This handle is hidden and most of us are not even conscious of its existence. Nevertheless, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Land Rover LR4 from the passenger compartment. To discover 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 Land Rover LR4 (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the entire lock appear. Once this has been completed, you should find a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Land Rover LR4 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 you put it back in position once you close your trunk.
