How to Open the Trunk of a Jetta?
2 Answers
There are two methods to open the trunk of a Jetta: 1. Press the trunk release button located on the driver's side door; 2. Insert the key into the trunk lock cylinder to unlock it. Jetta's current vehicle lineup includes: Jetta VS5, Jetta VS7, and Jetta VA3. Taking the Jetta VS5 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4419mm, width 1841mm, height 1616mm, and a wheelbase of 2630mm. The Jetta VS5 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power output of 110kW, with peak power achieved between 5000 to 6000 rpm.
Opening the trunk of a Jetta is actually a quite common need. Having driven this car for several years, I usually just press the trunk button on the remote key, which is quick and convenient. If the key isn't at hand, there's typically a small button or lever near the driver's seat on the left side close to the door—a gentle press or pull will open it. Some older Jetta models might require manually lifting the handle under the trunk lid from the rear, but be careful not to use excessive force to avoid scratches. Newer models like the Jetta VS series may feature a kick-sensor function, but traditional methods are safer for standard versions. Remember to clean the buttons regularly to prevent dust buildup that could impair functionality. If the key battery dies, you can use the mechanical key to open the lock cylinder on the rear lid. In short, these small steps make daily car use more convenient, and developing a habit of checking button functionality can help prevent unexpected issues.
