In the center console between the center vents to unlock your doors.

Trunk release is down near the floor close to your pedals.

Also,

you can deactivate the automatic door lock-option when driving away (>20 km/h) so that it doesn't lock the doors at all.

Or just pull the door handle twice. Once unlocks, second opens door.

ah yes german logic...the door lock switch by the climate controls
anyone know why the hatch does not open if you have been driving and then stop with the motor running...the 2 pull trick on the latch does not work

The hatch does not open when the engine is running. .... I certainly hope thats not true. I would think the iDrive would have some kind of option of defeating that. Mercedes has the option of releasing the trunk (and the fuel tank) from the outside of the vehicle, even if the motor is running, but the car is in park.
