How to Open the Verano Trunk When There's No Power?

Method to open the Verano trunk when there's no power: If the battery in the rear trunk is dead, you can fold down the rear seats, crawl inside, and pull the manual release handle to open it. Below is related information about the Verano trunk: 1. Heavier items in the luggage compartment should be placed close to the seat back. Ensure the backrest is securely fixed. If items can be stacked, place the heavier ones at the bottom. 2. Use the hooks on the sidewalls of the luggage compartment to hang bags. 3. Secure loose items in the luggage compartment to prevent them from sliding. 4. When transporting items in the luggage compartment, do not tilt the rear seat backrest forward.

I've encountered the issue of the trunk not opening due to a dead battery several times while driving the Verano. The Verano model usually has a mechanical keyhole on the trunk lid, typically located near the license plate light. When there's no power, you can directly insert the mechanical part of the key and turn it to open. If the key is lost or not carried, you can enter from the rear seats: fold down the rear seat back, climb into the trunk, and on the left side, there's an emergency pull cord loop. Pulling it will automatically pop open the trunk. Ensure safety during operation by parking the car on a stable surface to prevent it from rolling. To prevent the key battery from dying, I regularly check and replace it. Remember not to block the pull cord location with clutter just in case. This method is reliable for avoiding forced damage to the car, and learning the mechanism during maintenance makes it easy to handle.

As a Verano owner who often worries about the trunk locking due to dead battery, I've dealt with similar situations. The key is to use the mechanical key to manually unlock the trunk by aligning it with the lock cylinder located at the center top of the trunk lid—just insert and turn the key. If you don't have the key, check the rear seats: fold down the backrest, crawl in, locate the concealed small pull cord on the inner left side of the trunk, and give it a firm tug to open. Wear loose clothing during the process to avoid getting stuck and stay calm. For prevention, I always carry a spare key and replace the battery regularly. If manual methods fail, don’t force it—contact a professional immediately to prevent costly wiring damage. Safety first is always the principle.

I found a simple solution when the Verano's trunk won't open due to dead battery. Insert the mechanical key head into the trunk lock cylinder and turn to open. If that doesn't work, enter through the rear seats, fold them down, crawl in and pull the emergency release cord on the left side - it opens with one pull. Remember to keep the area clear for access. I've tried this method several times without issues.
