There are a couple of ways to unlock the hatch IF your hatch actuator is working properly:

- push/toggle the interior lock control up... this unlocks both doors and the hatch.

- From the outside of the car, turn the key clockwise in the drivers door lock and hold for a couple of seconds. First the manual lock mechanism on the driver's door unlocks, then the electric locks kick in and unlock both doors and hatch.

- From the rear end of the car, turn the key clockwise in the hatch lock. The electric lock mechanism will unlock both doors and the hatch.

- Press the unlock button TWICE on the keyless entry remote. this will unlock both doors and the hatch.

Once you have activated the electric lock to unlock boths doors and the hatch with one of the above described methods, you should then be able to just move the lever hidden under the handle of the hatch lid to the right to unlatch the hatch.

If your hatch won't open at this point then you probably have a dead actuator.

I hope this helps,
