Location of the Tiguan Trunk Switch?
4 Answers
The trunk switch of the Volkswagen Tiguan is located below the driver's door handle, above the door storage compartment, marked with a trunk symbol. Below is an introduction to the Tiguan's trunk: 1. The Tiguan trunk has a volume of 400-1530L. 2. The automatic trunk opening feature requires the installation of an electric trunk. Similar to an electric door, the electric trunk allows for opening and closing via electric means. 3. Some models also feature remote control functionality. To open the trunk, simply press the button inside the car, and the trunk will open automatically. To close it, press the close button inside the trunk, and it will shut by itself (button locations may vary depending on the model).
I've been driving the Tiguan for several years, and the trunk switch location is usually easy to find. There's a button on the driver's left door panel labeled 'Trunk' or with a luggage icon—just press it to open. In older models, it might still be in the same spot, but newer Tiguan L versions sometimes place it on the center console or under the trunk lid. The most convenient way is using the button on the key fob—just press the remote. Alternatively, there's an external switch under the trunk; a light press while standing will open it. If you can't find it, check the car manual, as there might be slight variations across different model years. Avoid pressing the button too hard to prevent damage, and just clean dust regularly. While driving, the door panel button allows the driver to operate it quickly, ensuring safety and practicality.
The design of the Tiguan's trunk switch is quite scientific, with its locations concentrated in several areas: there's an operation button on the inner side of the driver's door, and an external button on the upper edge of the trunk. The key also has a corresponding function button that unlocks the trunk with a single press. Higher-end models may include a foot-sensing system, where a swipe of the leg under the rear of the vehicle automatically opens the trunk. The wiring layout ensures stable operation of the switches, preventing accidental activation. For daily use, it's recommended to familiarize yourself with the main button locations for quick access in emergencies, such as retrieving items, which is faster than searching for the key. During vehicle maintenance, take the opportunity to test the switch response and keep the contacts clean to prevent malfunctions.
The Tiguan's trunk switch is mainly located in three common positions: the button on the door panel next to the driver's seat, the trunk button on the remote key, and the external switch under the trunk lid. A simple press will open it, straightforward and easy. The key button is the most convenient, allowing operation from a distance; if you can't find the switch, refer to the owner's manual for the exact location. For maintenance, avoid getting the buttons wet to prevent malfunction.
