Today we will explain how to open the trunk hatch from the inside in emergency situations on a BMW 1 Series, model E87. To perform this operation, we need to open the rear passenger side door and fold down the seats. From inside the trunk, we remove the cover next to the lock and insert a flat-head screwdriver to move the lever to unlock the trunk.

By doing this, we will have opened the trunk, and it may be necessary to replace the lock later. This operation can also be performed on other vehicles in the BMW range.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
