How to Open the Trunk of an Old Bora?
2 Answers
The Old Bora's remote key has a trunk button; press and hold it to open the trunk. There is also a switch on the driver's door that can be used to open the trunk. Below are the specific functions of the car trunk: 1. Fully equipped tool kit: The trunk contains a spare tire, jack, headlight tools, warning triangle, first aid kit, etc. Generally, these are standard equipment in cars, but many models do not have them all. In fact, the first aid kit and warning triangle should be included, as they are related to driving safety and emergency assistance. 2. Luggage storage net: When driving, sometimes you may encounter the problem of small, fragile items that are difficult to arrange neatly. Even if arranged neatly, they may need to be rearranged after getting out of the car, or they may get damaged due to bumps. With a luggage storage net in the trunk, these concerns and unnecessary losses can be avoided. 3. Trunk partition: Most hatchbacks, SUVs, and some MPVs have a partition in the trunk, which is an original factory accessory. The vehicle will have a reserved installation position for this partition when it leaves the factory. With the partition, even without a rearview camera, you won't be reversing blindly. In case of an emergency brake, it can prevent luggage from rushing into the cabin and causing harm to the passengers.
Opening the trunk of the old Bora is actually quite simple, mainly relying on these three methods: First, the most straightforward way is to use the key—press and hold the trunk icon button on the remote key until you hear a 'click' unlocking sound, then you can lift it open directly. Second, on the driver's side, near the left foot area by the carpet edge, there's a mechanical lever—just give it a firm pull to open. Third, in emergency situations, such as when the key battery is dead or the mechanical lever is broken, you can crawl into the trunk from the middle of the rear seats. There's an orange emergency release handle on the inner plastic panel—pull it to pop the trunk open. Sometimes, if the trunk isn't closed properly, it may trigger an alarm, so remember to check if the taillights are off after locking the car. For long-term use, the trunk's hydraulic struts tend to wear out; if opening becomes difficult, replacing the struts is an easy fix, costing just around a hundred bucks.
