To open the trunk of a 2002 Jaguar XK8 with a dead battery, you can use the manual key. Locate the keyhole on the trunk lid, usually hidden under a small cover or trim piece. Insert the key and turn it to unlock the trunk. If the keyhole is not accessible or the trunk remains locked, you may need to access the trunk from the back seat by folding down the rear seats, if applicable.
Try using the trunk open button inside the vehicle located @ the lower left hand side of the steering wheel on the dash board (near left knee when sitting in the vehicle). Or you can use the key itself. There should be a keyhole near the bottom center of the chrome part of the trunk where you insert the key and turn to open the trunk.
