How to Open the Trunk of the Elysion?
4 Answers
Method to open the trunk of the Elysion: On the chrome strip below the license plate, there is a wide small button on the middle right side. Press this button to open the trunk, and press it again to close. The Elysion's trunk can only be opened from the rear of the vehicle; there is no button inside the car or on the car key to open it. The Elysion is an MPV business vehicle under Dongfeng Honda, with body dimensions of 4950mm in length, 1842mm in width, and 1711mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2900mm. The front suspension of the vehicle is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
As a family daily driver, I frequently use the Elysion's trunk for shopping or outings. Opening it is simple: first, press and hold the tailgate button on the remote key for a few seconds to automatically open it; or inside the car, there's a round button marked with a tailgate icon on the lower left side of the driver's seat—just press it for easy access. You can also walk directly to the rear of the car, where there's a hidden handle on the tailgate—lightly pull it to open manually, which is especially practical when there's no power. For the electric version, the opening is smooth and quiet, but be sure to park on a level surface and avoid obstacles that might block it. If the battery is dead, there's a small panel inside the trunk lining—pry it open and turn the mechanical release lever for emergency access. Make it a habit to clean around the buttons to prevent dust buildup and check the battery status monthly. If the tailgate won't open, don't force it—you might damage the system; first check the key battery or fuses.
From a car enthusiast's perspective, I've studied the Elysion's tailgate mechanism. It offers multiple opening methods: pressing the tailgate button on the remote sends a signal to the control unit, which drives the electric motor for smooth opening; there's a dedicated switch on the interior control panel with the same function; the external tailgate handle mechanically operates the lock as a fail-safe. The electric version opens smoothly, but frequent operation should be avoided to prevent motor wear; the manual handle offers simple reliability for emergencies. Check the fuse location in the toolkit to ensure stable current. I also recommend regular lubrication of motor gears to reduce noise and sticking. If opening issues occur, start with simple troubleshooting like resetting the key fob battery or testing the power supply.
Having driven the Elysion for years, I find opening the trunk a breeze. The most convenient way is to press the tailgate button on the remote and wait for it to open automatically; the in-car switch is conveniently located next to the steering column for easy operation; you can also quickly open it manually by pulling the handle directly at the rear. If the electric door fails, manual unlocking inside the trim panel is straightforward. Just keep the buttons clean, free from dust, and avoid water contact to minimize malfunctions and enjoy hassle-free use.
