Where is the emergency trunk release switch for the Elysee?

The Elysee does not have an emergency trunk release switch. The method to open the trunk from inside the car for the Elysee is: the switch is located above the CD slot on the center console panel. Press the button, and the trunk will open automatically. Taking the Elysee 2018 1.6L Manual Fashion model as an example, the car's length, width, and height are 4427mm, 1748mm, and 1476mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2652mm. The car is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 86kw and a maximum torque of 150nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is torsion beam non-independent suspension. The body structure is a monocoque, the drive type is front-engine front-wheel drive, and the power steering type is electric power steering.

I've always driven a Citroën Elysée, and I remember the emergency trunk release is behind the backrest of the rear seat in a small hole. Last time, my child got stuck while playing, and I was sweating with anxiety. I reached in, felt the plastic handle, and pulled it open. It's located in the internal safety area at the rear of the car, designed to prevent entrapment. If you can't find it, check the user manual.

When I first bought my Elysee, I didn't know where the emergency switch was. Later, I found it next to the trunk latch inside the trunk. There's a small plastic cover; opening it and pulling the cord inside will open the trunk.

As an automotive maintenance enthusiast, I believe the emergency release switch is located near the internal lock mechanism in the trunk of the Elysee. There might be a small recess or pull ring in that area, and operation is straightforward - simply pull it to manually unlock for safety assurance.

With over 20 years of driving experience, I emphasize the importance of emergency switches. On the Elysee model, it's typically hidden inside the trunk or under the floor panel. If you can't open it, don't panic – try carefully feeling around or refer to the manual.

During my last trip, the trunk got locked and I panicked. Later, I discovered the emergency release switch is located in a small hole under the rear seat—just reach in and pull to open. The position is thoughtfully designed but not very obvious, so familiarizing yourself with the layout can help avoid issues.
