How to Open the Car Trunk?
3 Answers
There are several ways to open the car trunk: 1. Use the remote key: If the car key has a remote function, simply press the trunk button; 2. Open from inside the car: There is a handle with a trunk lid icon near the driver or on the floor, pulling it will unlock and open the trunk. The function of the car trunk is to absorb and buffer part of the collision energy in rear-end accidents, reducing or minimizing passenger injuries. The car trunk is a place for storing spare items and carrying goods, including: 1. The car's spare tire; 2. The vehicle's first aid kit; 3. The onboard tool kit; 4. The triangle warning sign; 5. The fire extinguisher; 6. The car refrigerator; 7. The emergency fuel cap release cable.
I've driven quite a few cars, and there are several common ways to open the trunk. First, using the remote key fob, which usually has an icon button—press it and the trunk pops open automatically. This is the most convenient method, but the key must be within range. Second, look for a button or handle under the rear lid—just press lightly to unlock it. I often come across this design, especially in SUVs. Third, find the trunk control inside the car, such as a button on the driver’s door or the center console—just press it. Fourth, if the key is out of battery, use the mechanical key to manually insert and turn the trunk lock cylinder to unlock it slowly. Remember not to operate it while the car is moving to prevent accidents. The location varies by car model, so be flexible. I recommend checking the spare key’s position regularly to stay calm in emergencies.
For us young people, the trunk operation of new cars is too smart! I most frequently use the button on the remote key—just a press and the trunk opens slowly, which is super handy. The in-car button is located beside the seat, and it's a one-touch operation; the mobile app also allows remote control. Some cars even have a proximity sensor to open the trunk—just having the key on you is enough. I always remind my friends to be mindful and not forget the traditional manual button at the rear of the car, which can still be used in case the key battery dies. Just make sure not to get the location wrong—find the small handle and give it a push to open. This method is perfect for daily commutes, saving time and effort while being highly efficient. If any issues arise, checking video tutorials can help solve them.
