Where is the emergency trunk release handle located on the Roewe 550?

The Roewe 550 does not come equipped with an interior trunk release switch. Here are detailed specifications about the Roewe 550: 1. Overview: The new Roewe 550 is SAIC's first model developed based on the DIS all-digital simulation system, featuring core technologies that lead domestically while synchronizing globally, with innovative applications of the "D5II Digital Intelligence" system. 2. Additional Features: The Roewe 550 is equipped with a TST 6-speed oil-cooled dual-clutch automatic transmission system, Inkanet-3G digital intelligent network driving system, Start-Stop digital intelligent energy-saving start-stop system, EPB digital intelligent electronic parking system, and Configurable color-customizable digital instrument cluster system.
When inspecting the trunk of the Roewe 550, I found that the emergency release handle is located on the inner side of the trunk lid, towards the middle-lower part. As soon as you lift the lid, you can spot a red handle or a recessed slot just a few centimeters away from the latch. Normally, when the trunk is closed, it might be slightly obscured by the interior trim, but a quick feel around will lead you right to it. This small feature is designed to prevent accidental entrapment, such as when the lid slides shut while loading items—pulling it allows manual opening from the inside. I recommend owners periodically check that it isn’t stuck or blocked by debris to ensure functionality in emergencies. If you consistently struggle to locate it, it might be due to factory design variations; some models position it near the rear seat backrest, but the Roewe 550 typically places it on the lid itself. For maintenance, simply wipe it with a dry cloth, avoiding water or grease to maintain responsiveness and prevent issues.
