How to Open the Trunk of a Leiling?

[Imogen]

There are two methods to open the trunk of a Leiling: 1. You can use the button on the remote control to open the trunk; 2. You can use the switch at the back of the trunk. First, open the trunk of the car, and you will see a small black cover on the upper part of the trunk lid. Open this cover, and you will find a white pull tab inside. Pull this tab firmly to trigger the switch, and the trunk will open. The Leiling is a compact sedan based on Toyota's MC platform, deeply customized for Chinese consumers. The design inspiration for the Leiling's North American version comes from the bald eagle, a fierce raptor. The Leiling inherits its sharp design style, giving it a highly recognizable appearance.

When driving my Levin, I found three most practical ways to open the trunk: The first is using the key directly—press and hold the trunk button on the remote key for about three seconds until you hear a click, which is especially convenient for parking at night. The second method can be done from inside the car—there's a button with a trunk icon on the inner side of the driver's door; a light press will automatically pop it open, keeping you dry on rainy days. The third involves a small button on the trunk lid—just press it with your finger to unlock, perfect for when your hands are full and you need to nudge it open with your knee. The new Levin Hybrid even has a hidden feature: with the car locked, approach the trunk with the key, hold your hand under the emblem's sensor area for two seconds, and it automatically unlocks. Remember to press the trunk firmly until the latch clicks shut—once I closed it lightly, leaving a gap that caused wind noise at highway speeds. It’s also good to regularly spray lubricant on the hinges to prevent squeaks.

My Leiling has been driven for four years, and I've long mastered the methods to open the trunk. The base model mainly relies on the key and manual button: just long-press the trunk button on the remote key, though it may fail if the distance is too far. The in-car button is located on the panel under the center console, marked with a luggage icon. The higher trim is more convenient, featuring a dedicated button on the driver's door armrest—just press it to open. The latest model comes with a kick-sensing function; with the key in your pocket, simply sweep your foot under the center of the rear bumper to unlock it automatically. However, be mindful of the recognition position under the bumper. When the key battery is running low, it may fail, so keep a few CR2032 coin batteries in the glove compartment as backup. Some friends accidentally trigger the trunk opening by bumping the key, so it's advisable to avoid keeping the key in your pants pocket after parking and instead place it in a handbag.

The most common way to open the trunk of a Levin is by pressing the trunk button inside the car. The button is located near the handle on the inner side of the driver's door, marked with a trunk symbol. You can open it with just a press without needing the key. If it occasionally malfunctions, first check if the key is within the sensing range. For older Levin models, you might need to open it manually: go to the trunk lid and press the button underneath to open it directly. Alternatively, you can press and hold the trunk icon button on the remote key for three seconds. If you have a key with a sensing function, just keep it on you, and there's a radar area under the trunk—sweep your foot under it to open.

My experience is that the key is the most reliable way to open the trunk. Press and hold the button with the luggage icon on the remote for three seconds to open it. If the key isn't sensed in your bag, don't worry: there's a small button on the inside of the driver's door, or you can manually press the button at the rear of the car to open it. Remember not to pile items on the edge of the trunk that might block its opening angle. On rainy days, avoid standing directly behind the trunk when opening it to prevent rainwater from pouring into the car. Once, a friend left the key inside the car while opening the trunk, and it got automatically locked, making it impossible to open. So, it's best to keep the key with you after use.

Here are some handy tips for opening the trunk of a Levin: First, use the remote key and simply hold down the trunk button. The interior button is prominently located on the driver's side door. You can also press the button directly below the license plate at the rear of the car. Newer models with sensor-based opening are even more convenient—just stand behind the trunk with the key in your pocket for two seconds to unlock it. If the hinges squeak in dry weather, a quick spray of WD-40 lubricant will do the trick. If the button doesn’t respond, check if the key battery is dead. Always be cautious to prevent children from accidentally pressing the trunk button on the key, which could lead to unintended openings.
