You may not be informed of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for security. This handle is hidden and most people are not even advised of its existence. However, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Lincoln Continental from the passenger compartment. To situate 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 Lincoln Continental (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the complete lock appear. Once this has been conducted, you should locate a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Lincoln Continental 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.
