Modern vehicles are very practical as they can be opened without a key, but they always require a charged battery. What happens if the battery runs out? Fortunately, the engineers who designed these vehicles considered this: In the case of the Volkswagen T-Cross, if the boot remains closed, you need to open the vehicle from the driver's side, using the physical key inserted into the remote to remove the protective cover from the lock.

Open the vehicle, open the rear door, fold down the rear seat, and with the key, access the slot located in the centre of the internal boot trim. This way, you will be able to open the stuck boot.
