best thing is to keep one of the folding backrest open!
so if your car dies because of a flat battery or something else like the trunklock cylinder is busted you wont get in the trunk.
if you can get in from the passengers backseat and unbolt the brackets and then trunk will open.
just safety thingy

if the trunk cylinder is busted by vandalism or you or the previous owners never used the metal blade key, then you are going to get in trouble when you need to access the boot!
there are 2 ways:
1st. step is to get the car juiced by the +terminal in the engine bay.
or
2nd step is to crawl through the backseat, and open the car from the inside.
It will be dark so use a strong flashlight with good lights.
In the center of the bottom black plastic wall where the cylinder locks, there are 2 oval round plastic lid covers.
Pull em' out and there is 1 nut on each side.
Unscrew both nuts and you are good to go!
Trunk is now open.
You need to be acrobatic like a cat to get inside the tight compartment.
Always keep one of the backseats unlocked if your battery gets drained!

but i managed to get the back rests down
pulled out one of the small back rest pieces on the side that dont fold down, that gave me acces to the screws of the hinges of the passanger side backrest, took the screws out and that gave me room to slide my hand at the top of the seat from the back, where the lock is and pulled the spring that holds the backrests locked, and seats are down. the car has full power, i think the vacum pump is done, but none the less i m not even gonna bother i m just gonna take it to my mechanic next week
