There is a key hole behind drivers seat. It's same color of the molding. Might check your owners manual if you can't find it.

Key hole should be on the back wall behind the drivers seat. Hope this helps

Key should work unless original was lost or lock replaced!!! Battery is in trunk? You could try jumping the starter and once started you can open trunk and charge battery. Just a thought

Battery is dead and I cannot open the trunk even with the lock behind the seat. How can I charge the starter? For just enough power to unlock trunk.
