How to open the Ford EcoSport trunk from inside?
2 Answers
EcoSport does not have an interior button to open the trunk, requiring the owner to exit the vehicle and open it manually. EcoSport related introduction: 1. Design: To further highlight the sporty feel, the newly added 1.5L AT Platinum Sport Edition is equipped with exclusive fashion sport package components. The vehicle features blackened treatment on multiple parts including the headlights, sport grille, side window waistline, front and rear bumpers, roof rack, etc., paired with 17-inch sport-style alloy wheels with smoked treatment. 2. Powertrain: The Ford EcoSport offers three powertrain options: 2.0L Duratec direct injection engine, EcoBoost® 1.0L turbocharged direct injection engine, and 1.5L Ti-VCT engine, paired with the SelectShift™ 6-speed automatic transmission for more precise and smooth power delivery.
With my 20 years of experience running an auto repair shop, I can tell you that the Ford EcoSport's trunk actually has an internal release mechanism. If you lie flat in the trunk and look up at the interior lining of the tailgate, you'll find a palm-sized plastic cover on the left side with a noticeable edge gap. Use your fingernail to pry it open downward, revealing a yellow nylon pull ring hidden inside. Remember to pull it horizontally with force, not downward. Two years ago, a couple got trapped in the trunk and had to call the police because they couldn't find this emergency release. It's best to practice this procedure twice using an emergency flashlight – it could save lives in critical situations. For older vehicles, pay attention to whether the small cover gets stuck due to dust accumulation. I've encountered cases where the pull ring got jammed, requiring emergency prying with a car key.
