Why can the trunk still be opened when the car is locked?

[DiHazel]

Because the key is nearby, the trunk will automatically unlock. Here is an introduction about the trunk: Items in the trunk: The trunk usually contains the car's spare tire, emergency kit, vehicle tool kit, warning triangle, fire extinguisher, car refrigerator, and the emergency fuel tank release cable! Some high-end models also place the starting battery in the trunk. Some SUV and MPV models even come with an original emergency flashlight. Reasons why the trunk cannot be opened: Issues with the linkage rod or lock cylinder. If you frequently use the key to open the trunk, the linkage rod might be broken—take it to a repair shop. If you always use the trunk release button, the lock cylinder might be dirty or rusty; spraying some rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times should help. If the trunk is not unlocked, or if the remote key is not used to unlock it, it will be difficult to open. Before attempting to open it, it's best to press the unlock button on the key or check if the key battery is dead. Mechanical part failure, such as a broken trunk wire or other trunk-related issues, can also cause the trunk to not open.
