Applicable to the V70/XC70/XC90: 

The lock unit in the tailgate locks and unlocks during a normal locking procedure. When the tailgate is unlocked and the handle on the tailgate is pressed the catch in the mechanism from the lock brace in the body disengages and the tailgate opens.

There is a lock cylinder on the tailgate on the V70/XC70 if an auxiliary rear facing seat was fitted at the factory. The tailgate can be unlocked with a key using the lock cylinder.

The tailgate/trunk lid can also be unlocked/opened separately with a special button on the remote control.
