How to Open the Trunk of an Atenza?
3 Answers
The method to open the trunk of an Atenza is as follows: it can be opened using the trunk unlock button on the car key, or by pressing the switch at the trunk when the vehicle is unlocked. Some mid-to-high-end models are equipped with a sensing function; when the car key is within the sensing range, pressing the handle on the trunk lid allows it to be lifted directly. The Atenza is equipped with a 2.0L L4 engine, naturally aspirated, with a maximum horsepower of 158ps and a maximum torque of 202nm. The body type is a 4-door, 5-seat sedan, with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a top speed of 212 kilometers per hour.
Opening the trunk of the Mazda6 (Atenza) is quite simple, and I usually rely on a few tricks. The key has a trunk button—just press and hold it for about two seconds, and it pops open, which is super convenient. You can also open it from the driver’s seat; there’s a switch near the window controls on the left door—just press it. There’s even a button hidden above the license plate at the rear—easy to reach. If the battery dies and you can’t open it, don’t panic; the key contains a mechanical key. Just pull it out, insert it into the trunk lock, and twist to unlock. One thing to note: the car must be in the unlocked state for this to work—pressing the button won’t do anything if the car is locked. Over time, you’ll also realize there’s a knack to closing the trunk properly—it’s best to shut it firmly in one go to avoid straining the hinges. Oh, and right after turning off the engine, the trunk lid can get pretty hot, so be careful not to touch it immediately to avoid burning your hands.
I always consider trunk opening from a safety perspective. When opening the trunk of the Mazda6, it's safest to ensure the vehicle is in Park or turned off. The key fob is the most convenient method—just press and hold the trunk icon for about 3 seconds to pop it open. The interior control button is conveniently located above the driver's door panel. A unique feature is the rear button, discreetly designed in the recess above the license plate frame. For the mechanical key method: first slide open the key fob's cover to retrieve the metal key, then locate the keyhole behind the small panel in the middle of the license plate holder. It's advisable to check the trunk hydraulic struts monthly to prevent stiffness during opening. When closing, listen for a clear click to ensure it's properly shut—don't wait for the warning light to indicate an improper seal.
