The Beetle trunk can be opened by inserting the car key into the lock or pressing the button inside the driver's compartment. Below is an introduction to the Beetle: 1. Volkswagen Beetle: Officially named the Volkswagen Type 1, it is a compact car produced by Volkswagen from 1938 to 2003. In 1998, many years after the original Beetle was discontinued, Volkswagen officially launched the New Beetle, which closely resembles the original in appearance. 2. Body Dimensions: The Beetle's body dimensions are 4081mm in length, 1724mm in width, and 1498mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2508mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, a curb weight of 1228kg, and a gross weight of 1650kg.

As a long-time Beetle owner, I often get asked by friends how to open the trunk. It's actually quite simple. Most models have a key fob button - just press it to pop open the rear hatch. There's usually a button or lever on the driver's side interior that automatically opens the trunk when pressed. For classic models, you may need to manually turn the key in the trunk lock cylinder. Make sure the doors are unlocked first, otherwise the trunk might not open. Also, if the remote fails due to low battery or signal interference, don't panic - check the physical keyhole or interior switch as backup. This trick has saved me from several awkward situations when loading luggage for trips.

When driving a Beetle, I have a good understanding of the trunk mechanism—it relies on an electronic or mechanical release system. Pressing the smart key sends a signal to the locking mechanism to unlock it. There's also a dedicated button on the center console; a light touch pops the trunk open. In case of a malfunction, such as a sensor failure, use the spare key to open it manually. Those who have modified their cars might have added a kick sensor for more automation. It's recommended to regularly inspect the trunk hinges and wiring to prevent rust caused by water ingress during rainy days.

From a new car owner's perspective, it's my first time driving a Beetle, and I can't figure out how to open the trunk. Mainly, it's operated via the button on the remote key—just press the one with the trunk icon. There might also be an interior switch, located near the driver's door. For older models or used cars, you might need to insert the key into the trunk lock and turn it to open manually. Be careful not to press other buttons by mistake and accidentally lock it—check the manual first.
