How to open the boot from inside the Citroen C4?

Model: Citroen C4 MK 1 - Years 2004-2010
Part: Trunk lock

To open the boot from inside the Citroen C4, go to the external boot and try to open it, but if it doesn't open, take a flathead screwdriver and insert it into a rod of the same diameter as the screwdriver handle, securing it with tape; then go to the rear seats, fold them down using the lever at the top of the backrest to access the boot from the inside. Insert the screwdriver between the plastic and the boot lock, so that the latch in the hinge moves and the boot unlocks, allowing it to be opened from the outside.
