Here is the link to the owner's manual on the process of unlocking the trunk with a dead battery or dead remote.

The key lock is under a rubber plug to the left of the license plate light.

You should have a trunk lock cylinder in the trunk lid. Look to the right side of the license l plate by the license plate light and you will see a black plastic cover. Remove the cover to expose the lock cylinder then use your key.

    My key unlocks the doors and starts the car but won't do anything in the trunk lid!

I have a dead battery and can't get the trunk open. How do I get my 02 jaguar started?

The trunk latch is operated by a solenoid which it requires power to operate. since the battery is flat then it won't work. I'm not sure where the positive terminal is under the hood but you can connect the positive lead to the alternator wire terminal, and the negative lead can be connected any where on the engine.
Good luck......

YOU CAN PLUG IN A BOOSTER BATTERY INTO CIGARETTE LIGHTER IT WILL GIVE CAR BATTERY POWER TO JUMP START. AND YOU WILL HAVE POWER ALSO TO OPEN TRUNK ALSO TO REMOVE BATTERY.
