If its anything like other VAG cars its a button on the drivers side doorcard at the bottom.
Can't see anything there - nor can I see anything in the book. Deary me this is poor lol.

On the Fabia it was above the electric window buttons on the drivers door handle. Failing that, surely you can just press the boot release on the remote whilst it is in the ignition?
My Mam's Fiesta has a boot release but is quite annoying as you can't open the boot while the engine is running

Its so you can unlock the boot from inside the car without unlocking the whole car.
In mine it knows when the keys are in the ignition so non of the buttons on the remote work.

You have to press the unlock button 3 times on your door then it unlocks your door, passenger then boot (if its 3 door). Otherwise when you do not have the key in the car press unlock 3 times or keep hold of the boot open button for a couple of seconds.
I find the design a bit weird but meh.

I can't think of any situation where this is a disadvantage? Unless you are delivering drugs.
Seriously why can't you just unlock the whole car? 99% of the time the only reason someone other than you would need to open the boot would be if they are a passenger who you are dropping off, in which case you will need to open the doors anyway.

Me checks post for spelling before hitting submit reply, check.
Ahh ok, never really needed it when the car itself needed to be locked at the same time. as before....delivering drugs?
