Unfortunately, with this model, there is not an internal switch to release the trunk without getting out of the car and using your keyless entry or your physical key to open the trunk.
This can easily be rectified by installing a Momentary push button yourself inside the car wherever you choose. The switch will have two contacts on it, one will be grounded to the car frame metal anywhere. The other contact will be attached to the Trunk release relay switch.
The Trunk Release relay switch in the ZX2 is located on the passenger's side of the car just inside the door frame (where your feet would be). It is located behind a small plastic molding panel which can be removed by removing the 2 or 3 plastic quick-release bolts.
Once opened, the black relay switch can be seen. On this relay switch is a Green Wire with Black Stripe which controls the Trunk Release. Place your activation lead from your momentary switch into this connection for the Trunk Release.
Voila! You now have an internal Trunk Release without having to exit the car!
