Backup trunk switch is located on the door trim panel, where you can find a trunk opening button on the left front door, which is the driver's side position. Simply lift the button upwards with your hand, and the trunk lid will open.

As a Lavida Plus owner, I often encounter situations where I need to open the trunk without turning off the engine. It's quite simple - just locate the button panel on the left side of the center console while seated in the driver's seat, and press the trunk release button directly. Alternatively, you can press the trunk button on the remote key, which can unlock the trunk while the engine is running. The key point is that the vehicle must be in P gear or neutral with the handbrake engaged to ensure safety. Once when I stopped at a gas station to load water, a simple button press did the trick. Additionally, the Lavida Plus's electronic system is designed to be quite responsive without needing to power off, but it's advisable to operate only after parking securely. If the button isn't working, check whether the doors are unlocked or the status, and avoid operating on slopes to prevent the car from rolling. Remembering these daily tips can save you a lot of trouble.

From a technical perspective, the Lavida Plus's vehicle electronic system allows the trunk to be opened without turning off the engine, as its key and ECU control module can recognize signals in real time. The operation methods include pressing the trunk button on the door panel inside the car or clicking the trunk icon button on the remote key. When the engine is running, the circuit remains active, and the button triggers the electronic lock to release the trunk latch without relying on engine shutdown. The design prioritizes convenience, such as allowing operation when the vehicle is locked and the gear is in a safe position. To prevent risks, it is recommended to engage the handbrake and observe the surroundings before each operation to avoid interference from traffic. Similar issues, such as unresponsive buttons, may indicate a blown fuse or circuit malfunction, requiring timely inspection and repair.

Safety first, it is feasible to open the trunk of Lavida Plus without turning off the engine, but pay attention to details. With the engine running and the car stationary, simply press the trunk button next to the driver's seat or the key button. The crucial steps are to ensure the gear is in P and the handbrake is engaged before operating to minimize the risk of accidental movement. For example, when parking in the city to load luggage into the trunk, perform the operation quickly. Additionally, note that the trunk can also be opened when the car is locked, but be mindful of pedestrians and vehicles to ensure a safe space. The electronic control design of Lavida Plus that allows trunk opening without turning off the engine enhances convenience but requires careful handling.

The daily use of Lavida Plus is truly convenient, such as loading heavy items into the trunk without turning off the engine after shopping at the supermarket. Simply press the trunk button on the door armrest while the engine is running, saving both time and fuel. The operation is simple and takes only a few seconds, and the remote key also works. The spacious trunk makes it easy to load items without needing to get out of the car or wait for the engine to turn off. Remember to operate in safe locations like parking lots to avoid accidents. If the button doesn't work in similar situations, check the door unlock status or use the external keyhole as a backup.
