How to Open the Emergency Trunk Release of Mercedes-Benz C200L?

[Nora]

Confirm that the car doors are unlocked. Walk to the rear of the car, locate the trunk release handle and pull it, the trunk will open automatically. Simply pull the trunk lid downward to close it. Some models have two buttons inside the trunk lid, one for closing the trunk and another that locks the car automatically while closing the trunk.

I once personally used the emergency trunk release switch on a Mercedes-Benz C200L, and I remember it clearly. It's designed to prevent people from being trapped inside, usually located on the inner side of the trunk near the rear light or the lower right corner, covered by a plastic cap or directly as a pull ring. Just reach in, find it, and give it a gentle pull to open. That time I tried it, it opened smoothly without any tools needed. Similar models like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class are pretty much the same, with possibly slightly different positions, but the operation method is identical. It's advisable to test it out when you usually store items inside to get a feel for it, avoiding panic in case you're actually trapped. Safety is crucial, and this switch is simple and practical with almost no technical difficulty—the key is to stay calm while operating it.
