How to Open the Trunk of a Toyota Car?
2 Answers
Toyota cars can have their trunks opened by locating the switch below the left side of the driver's seat and pressing the trunk release button. Taking the 2020 Toyota Century as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5335mm, width 1935mm, height 1505mm, with a wheelbase of 3090mm and a curb weight of 1990kg. The 2020 Toyota Century features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 5.0L naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor, delivering a maximum horsepower of 280ps, a maximum power of 394kW, and a maximum torque of 460Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I own a Toyota Corolla, and opening the trunk is quite straightforward. I usually use the trunk button on the remote key fob—just press it once and it opens, which is very convenient. If I'm inside the car, there's a small switch button near the driver's seat door; a light press will also open the trunk. Different models may vary slightly—for example, newer Toyota models might come with a smart sensor feature where you can just kick under the rear bumper while carrying the key in your pocket, and the trunk will open automatically. There's also a manual button and a keyhole on the trunk lid. In case the key battery dies, you can insert the key into the hole and twist it to open the trunk. I recommend always closing the trunk gently and making sure it’s fully shut to prevent dust from getting in or affecting the seal. When washing the car, it’s a good idea to apply some lubricant to the hinges and latch to avoid rust and sticking. Regularly check if the switch buttons are responsive to prolong their lifespan.
