Where is the Car Trunk Escape Switch Located?
2 Answers
The escape switch device is located at the trunk lock cylinder. On the trunk lid, you will see a small cover in black or another color. Pry open this cover. Inside, you will find a white pull tab, which could also be a pull cord or a crescent-shaped switch. Then, pull this tab hard to open the trunk.
I know many people don't pay attention to the location of the trunk escape switch. Usually, it's inside the car trunk, near the lining, where there's a small pull ring or button, designed to be discreet but easy to operate. A simple pull can open the door from the inside, which is crucial in emergencies like a child being accidentally locked in. The location varies by car model, such as near the door lock or under the mat. I strongly recommend taking the time to check your own car, test if it works smoothly, and remember its location just in case. Safety first—don't underestimate this small device; it can save lives. Make it a habit to check it regularly, just as important as checking your tires.
