    I love my Clarity but have been puzzled by the key hole behind the rear seat on the driver's side. If I use the physical key, it will pop open the trunk. However, I can't come up with a scenario where that would be helpful.

    Does anyone know its purpose?

    Thanks! IMG_20180513_134004.jpg

    I believe it's a fail safe in case your remotes will not open the trunk or the electronic latch has failed.

    Also a back up in case key fob and/or 12 volt battery go dead. There are also manual release backups for fuel door and charging door as well as key lock on deiver’s door.

    Makes sense, I guess. Odd location though. Thanks!
