How to Press the Interior Trunk Button in Golf 8?
2 Answers
There is a storage compartment with a water trough on the door handle in the driver's cabin, which has a button that serves as the trunk opening key. The methods to open the Golf trunk are as follows: To open the tailgate with the car key, press the tailgate button on the car key for less than 1 second to unlock the tailgate; or hold the button on the car key until the tailgate automatically opens a few millimeters. Press the upper part of the Volkswagen logo with your thumb while flipping the lower part outward. Then, reach under the Volkswagen logo and lift the tailgate. The Golf's trunk has a capacity of 380L, which is 30L more than the previous model. The interior space is very flat, and the rear seats support a 4:6 split-folding ratio, allowing one side to seat passengers while the other side can connect with the trunk for storage, making it very flexible. When all rear seats are folded down, the trunk's maximum capacity can reach 1270L.
As an owner of the Golf 8, I find the trunk button operation inside the car very intuitive. The button is usually located above the driver's door panel, near the window control area, marked with a trunk icon. Simply press it by hand without much force, and the trunk lock will release and pop open gently. If the car is locked, sometimes the button may not respond, in which case you need to unlock the doors first using the key or the central control. The design is user-friendly, with a reasonable placement that allows easy access without the hassle of getting out of the car. Compared to the older Golf models, this button is more responsive and designed to prevent accidental touches. In practical use, it's convenient and quick, especially after shopping or carrying items, saving time and effort with just one press. Initially, I didn't pay attention to the manual's advice, but after getting used to it, I can't imagine going without it.
