Years 2010-2014

Answer

If the rear door of the Volkswagen Passat is blocked, don't worry, as the car has an emergency opening system. Let's go into the luggage compartment by lowering the rear seats, we can see a small cap placed right near the lock of the tailgate. Remove the cap with the help of a screwdriver and move the plastic tooth inside to the left, this will allow the lock to be unlocked. Once a replacement has been procured, we will be able to replace the mechanism.
