I know that it seems European models don't have the emergency release handle as my UK car.
If the battery is disconnected and the boot lid dropped, what powers the two side locks to jam it shut?
Does it just latch slightly and can the boot just be lifted a few cm's.
I know when I had the boot lid liner off, there is a solenoid operating a white lever with a spare hole for the emergency release cable.
When pushed the locking solenoids operate providing there is power.
So even pulling the emergency release may not open boot if there is no power.
I think what you have to be careful with is how you disconnect the battery, not the lead but the whole connector block. Otherwise you are breaking the circuit to the engine jump points.
