How to open the ix35 trunk from inside the car?

Use the trunk release button on the car key to open the trunk. Use the trunk release button on the car's central control panel or the one on the left side of the steering wheel to open the trunk. There will be an icon of a raised car trunk on the lower left side of the driver's seat or the lower left side of the steering wheel. After unlocking the trunk door, you need to pull the handle to fully open the trunk. After closing the trunk door when finished, it will automatically lock.
When driving my ix35, I noticed the trunk release button is conveniently located on the inner side of the driver's door panel, near the window. A simple press easily opens the trunk - such a thoughtful design that saves me from having to exit the vehicle every time, especially useful during rainy days when loading/unloading to avoid getting wet. I remember one supermarket trip with a fully loaded trunk - just pressed the button from the driver's seat and done, incredibly practical. However, be cautious about debris jamming the button - mine once got stuck with dust and required careful cleaning with cotton swabs to restore smooth operation. Also, if the button becomes unresponsive, it might indicate loose wiring or a blown fuse; simply check the fuse box for replacement to avoid emergency access issues.
In my driving experience with the ix35, opening the trunk from inside the car is quite simple: sit in the driver's seat, locate the raised button on the door panel armrest, and press it gently to pop open the trunk. This thoughtful design enhances safety—for instance, allowing operation in parking lots at night without exiting the vehicle, reducing the risk of theft. However, avoid pressing it while driving; wait until the car is stopped for added safety. I often teach my family to familiarize themselves with the button's location, as it proves invaluable if the key fob battery dies. During maintenance, ensure no water splashes into that area to prevent short circuits, and periodically wipe the button surface if needed.
