On the door interior panel, you can find a trunk release button. Simply lift the button upward with your hand to open the trunk lid. Below are specific details about the Chang'an CX20: 1. Body dimensions: The CX20 is Chang'an Automobile's first entry-level crossover MPV model, with length, width, and height measurements of 3880mm, 1700mm, and 1570mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2450mm. 2.

I've seen many CX20 owners discussing this issue online. The location of the trunk emergency release is actually quite crucial, as safety always comes first. I've been driving my CX20 for several years, and its emergency release is hidden behind a plastic panel on the inner side of the trunk lid. To be specific, you need to open the trunk and feel around the center position of the lid, right above the latch mechanism. You'll find a small plastic cover with an icon, which can be pried open with a key or card. Inside, there's a small yellow pull ring – just yank it downward to open. This design is quite user-friendly, preventing accidental lock-ins in the trunk. I suggest you take some time to locate it in person and memorize its position, so you can operate it quickly and accurately in case of an emergency.
Once when I was helping a friend locate the emergency release switch for his CX20's trunk, it did take some effort. The switch is quite cleverly concealed right in the center of the trunk lid's inner trim panel, approximately at eye level. The entire operation requires three steps: first open the trunk, then locate a rectangular plastic cover about half a palm's size positioned three fingers' width above the metal latch; pry open the small notch on the right side of the cover with your fingernail to reveal a small orange handle inside; grasp the handle and pull it vertically downward about 30 degrees until you hear a click. A tip: it's best to wear gloves during this operation as the handle edges can be sharp. Remember to have the mechanic check this switch for sticking during routine maintenance, as dust accumulation from long periods of disuse can cause it to become stiff.
