If a discharged battery is keeping the trunk from being able to open, you can manually open it. Just follow these steps: 1. Enter the trunk area through the main cabin. 2. Use a safe and suitable tool to remove the center cover on the inside of the trunk lid. 3. Push the Release lever to the right, until the trunk opens.
