HOW TO OPEN TRUNK SEAT ARONA FROM THE INSIDE?
After examining the various factors why you might want to open the trunk of your Seat Arona from the inside, we will describe how to do it in practice.

You may not be informed of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for safety. This handle is hidden and many of us are not even informed of its existence. Nevertheless, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Seat Arona from the passenger compartment. To find this “handle” you’ll have to get in the back seat (don’t hesitate to fold it down for more space), and, at the trunk lock of your Seat Arona (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the entire lock appear. Once this has been done, you should discover a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Seat Arona from the inside. Be careful though, on many models if this lever keeps in the open position you will not be able to lock your trunk when locking your car with the central locking system. So make sure put it back in position once you close your trunk.
