Methods to open the trunk without a key: 1. If the car is equipped with smart sensing or an electric tailgate, the trunk can be opened manually without a key; 2. Seek assistance from a professional locksmith to open it; 3. Tow the car to a 4S shop to have a new key made. Most car models have a small plastic cover inside the trunk. You can use a key or other sharp object to pry open the outer shell, revealing the trunk's locking mechanism inside. Simply pull it to open the trunk door. Some cars have radar sensors under the trunk. As long as your foot is in the radar sensing area, the car will detect it and directly open the trunk. This feature is generally supported by mid-to-high-end car models.
I remember one time I left my keys in the car and the trunk was locked, couldn't get it open—it was pretty stressful. Actually, there's a hidden release switch in the car, usually near the driver's door panel or under the dashboard. Press it, and the trunk pops open. The location varies by model—some have a small button to the left of the steering wheel. Another trick: if the rear seats can fold down, you can climb in from the back and try manually unlocking it, especially common in SUVs. High-tech models make it easier—just tap an app on your phone to unlock, like with Tesla—super convenient. A backup method is to carry a combination lock or keep the dealership's number handy. If you run into trouble, call a professional instead of forcing it open to avoid damaging parts. Get in the habit of checking where your keys are—don't be forgetful like me—it'll save you a lot of headaches.
