If the Passat car key is locked in the trunk, it is recommended to use the spare key to unlock it. The Passat is a mid-size sedan under SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4933mm in length, 1836mm in width, and 1469mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. The Passat is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and has a top speed of 210 km/h with a fuel tank capacity of 68.5 liters. In terms of the suspension system, the front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension.

I also experienced the awkward situation of locking the keys in the trunk. At that time, I was driving a Passat and only realized the keys were left inside after closing the trunk. My first instinct was to check my wallet for the spare key, but I had forgotten to bring it that day. I had to call Volkswagen 4S for emergency assistance. They sent a technician who used tools to gently hook open the trunk latch through the door gap without damaging the paint. The whole process took about half an hour, and the service fee was reasonable. I recommend keeping a spare key at home or the office. Also, avoid trying to pry open the trunk yourself—the Passat's trunk design is tight, and forcing it open can easily scratch the seals or trigger the alarm system. Develop a good habit: never let go of your keys when loading items.
