Fit trunk opening methods are as follows: 1. Unlock the trunk via car key. Press the button on the wireless remote key for at least one second, the trunk lid will automatically unlock and pop open slightly. 2. Use the key's sensing function (within about 1m distance), you can directly pull the trunk switch. 3. Some models have two additional buttons on the trunk, the left one is for closing the trunk, the right one is for closing the trunk + locking the car. Honda partial series trunk opening methods (applicable for models without interior trunk switch): 1. First unlock the car doors. 2. Walk to the trunk, locate and pull the trunk switch, then the trunk will open automatically. 3. When closing, simply pull the handle to shut it.
There are three common ways I use to open the Honda Fit's trunk, all quite convenient. The first is using the remote key fob button—just stand near the car, press it lightly, and the trunk pops open effortlessly. This is the most effortless method. The second is operating from inside the car: near the driver's seat, either by the door or below the steering wheel, there's a dedicated lever or switch—just pull it to open. I always check the lever's position before getting in to avoid fumbling during emergencies. The third way is pressing the manual button directly below the trunk lid or near the emblem—just bend slightly to operate. If the button gets dirty, wipe it clean to prevent sticking. Remember to periodically check for rust or looseness in buttons and levers, and clean and lubricate them to extend their lifespan. On rainy days, open the trunk quickly to avoid water seeping in while loading/unloading items. Always ensure the trunk is securely closed when parking and locking the car—my neighbor once forgot and nearly lost their tools, so don’t overlook this safety detail.
After buying the Honda Fit, I found opening the trunk incredibly convenient. My favorite feature is the remote key button—just a press and it goes 'click' open, super fast! Inside the car, there's a lever next to the driver's seat; a gentle pull makes the trunk pop up instantly. I've tried it several times, and it's super responsive. Even manually pressing the button on the rear hatch is quick—though positioned a bit low, it's no hassle at all. Some Fit models even support smart key proximity auto-opening, which is pretty cool. Just a reminder: avoid opening the trunk on bumpy roads to prevent items from flying out. Once, I opened it slowly at a highway rest stop and avoided a mess—developing good habits helps a lot. During weekend car washes, I also check the button's cleanliness and circuit contacts to prevent dust from affecting functionality.
Opening the trunk of a Honda Fit is actually quite simple. The most common method is pressing the button on the remote key fob to activate it. Alternatively, there's a dedicated release lever on the driver's side inside the car that you can pull. You can also directly press the manual button on the tailgate. In case the key fob battery is dead or the lever malfunctions, check the battery or fuse, and keep the components dry to prevent rust.
