Hidden button can open your Ford Mustang’s trunk without ever having to get your key out of your pocket or purse
A FORD salesperson has revealed how drivers can quickly open their trunk, even if their hands are full.
In a YouTube video, the salesperson explained how Mustang drivers can find a button hidden on the back side of the car.
"A lot of people don't know that you can actually open the trunk with a button," the salesperson, Jorge Lopez (), claimed in a .
"Because its not visible at all, you really can't see it."
The button is located directly above the rearward license plate.
The black button is flanked by two lights meant to illuminate the license plate while the headlights are engaged.
With the press of the button, drivers can open the latch of the Mustang.
The car's key fob must be close to the vehicle in order for the trunk to open.
Drivers may also use the button if the car is already unlocked.
The video is part of a series of explainer car maintenance videos Lopez has posted about several Ford models on the lot.

Several commenters jumped into the YouTuber's comments to say they already knew about the button.
"I’m going to take that, document it, and organize it into this file I have called 'Stuff everyone already knows,'" one commenter said.
However, the YouTuber said the content would tease more unknown features in Ford cars.
"Just remember, I'm saving the best for last," Lopez said in response to the commenter.

Ford recently announced it would no longer produce cars with an active safety feature.
The company's parallel park assist has been cut from future production vehicles after data analysis showed few drivers even used the feature.
"Very, very few people are using it," Kumar Galhotra, the company's Chief Operating Officer, said during an earnings call.
The company estimates it will save around $10 million in production costs each year.
Park assist features cost the company about $60 per vehicle.

"We are always evaluating our vehicles to make sure we’re giving customers more of what they love — and less of what they don’t," Ford said in a statement after the earnings call.
"We found the overwhelming majority of customers aren’t using Active Park Assist in the way it is currently offered."
