There are two ways to open the trunk of the Audi A4: one is using the key, and the other is using the switch located between the two license plate lights. Method to open the trunk using the remote control: You can also remotely open the trunk by pressing the middle button on the remote key. Press the trunk release button on the wireless remote key for at least one second. The trunk lid will then automatically unlock and pop open slightly. Other methods to open the trunk: The Audi A4L can unlock the trunk via the switch on the driver's side door panel, or you can open the trunk using the switch at the trunk handle.
I've been driving an Audi A4 for several years and am very familiar with the location of the emergency trunk release. It's hidden on the inner side of the trunk, near the locking mechanism. When you open the trunk lid, you'll see a small cover or pull ring. The specific operation involves pushing or pulling that device to force the trunk open from inside. This feature is extremely important - if someone accidentally gets locked inside, like a mischievous child crawling in, it can be lifesaving. I made sure to check its location right after buying the car, and it's relatively easy to find. I recommend all Audi owners familiarize themselves with it in advance, so they don't panic during emergencies. It's also good to test its functionality occasionally to ensure it's not stuck or rusted, guaranteeing worry-free safe driving.
