In this video, you will see how to open the boot lock of a Citroen C4 if it has broken. It is quite simple to emergency open the boot of a modern vehicle, as all now have the capability to be opened from the inside.

You will need to enter through the rear door, equipped with a Torx key. The lock has a small hole on the left side, which is specifically for inserting this type of key (which we recommend keeping handy for emergencies). Turn it and then go outside to open the tailgate.

Naturally, you will now need to repair the lock, which will likely need to be replaced.
