If your trunk lock key cylinder is set to the horizontal position, then
the trunk should lock and unlock with the central locking system.
If the lock cylinder is vertical, then it stays locked all the time.
You can use the key and turn it to the 2'oclock position to unlock it
at any time.  The air actuator is supposed to have a linkage to
the trunk lock mechanism to lock/unlock it.  If the central locking
doesn't work on the trunk, check the linkage from the actuator to the
lock.  Also, check the air hose for leaks.
