How to Lock the Trunk?
2 Answers
Methods to lock the trunk: 1. Manually close the trunk to lock it; 2. Some mid-to-high-end models are equipped with an electric trunk, which has an automatic closing button above the trunk. Pressing this button will automatically close the trunk. If the car trunk cannot be closed, it indicates a malfunction, which may be due to a spring rod failure, improper matching between the limit rubber block and the locking mechanism, trunk control circuit failure, or trunk hydraulic support rod failure. Once the trunk cannot be closed, do not attempt to close it again, and do not use excessive force to close it, as this will only cause further damage to the trunk. If problems arise, promptly drive the car to a repair shop or 4S store for inspection.
I remember studying how to lock the trunk right after buying my car, and now I’d like to share my experience. Most cars have an automatic locking feature—simply close the trunk lid firmly and press the lock button on the key fob to secure the entire car, including the trunk. However, some older models might require an extra step, like turning the mechanical key on the tailgate to fully lock it. I usually press the lock button on the key fob after using the trunk and pull the handle to double-check that it’s secure. Nowadays, newer cars often come with power tailgates, making it even more convenient—just press the lock icon nearby after closing it. If the trunk doesn’t lock properly, it’s worth checking if something is stuck in the latch.
