Q: How do you open the trunk in a 2012 Honda Accord?

asked by on December 15, 2015

How do you open the trunk?

You’ll find two different ways to open the trunk on your Honda Accord. One from inside the car, and one from the remote. The trunk does have a keyhole and can also be opened from the outside.

  • Use the trunk release lever located on the floorboard on the driver’s side. Just pull up on the lever and the trunk latch will release.

  • Use the trunk release button on the master key remote control. Just press and hold the button and the trunk will release.
