How to Open the Trunk of a Volkswagen?
2 Answers
There are several ways to open the trunk of a Volkswagen: 1. Press the trunk button on the remote key; 2. Locate the trunk switch inside the car and pull or press it to open; 3. Find the switch on the trunk itself and press it to open. Volkswagen models include the Volkswagen Lavida, Volkswagen Bora, Volkswagen Teramont, Volkswagen Lamando, and Volkswagen Tacqua. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Lavida as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The 2021 Volkswagen Lavida is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving Volkswagen cars for many years and found multiple simple ways to open the trunk. The most common method is using the remote key fob, which has a trunk icon button—just press it lightly to open. Alternatively, inside the car, there’s a trunk button near the driver’s seat lower left or around the steering wheel; a quick press does the trick. Newer models like the Passat or Tiguan even feature a kick sensor: stand behind the car, swiftly sweep your foot under the bumper, and it opens automatically—perfect when your hands are full. However, if the car is locked or the battery is dead, the trunk might not open; in that case, use the key to turn the lock cylinder on the lid or check the key’s battery. For safety, I always operate the trunk when parked and the engine is off to avoid accidents while driving. For maintenance, I regularly clean these button areas to prevent dust buildup that could affect functionality. This ensures smooth, hassle-free daily use without any trouble.
