Volkswagen Tiguan's emergency trunk release switch is located behind the cover panel of the tailgate, designed to open the trunk from inside the vehicle in emergency situations. Below are the detailed steps to locate the switch: 1. Open the driver's door. 2. Engage the handbrake. 3. Open the rear door. 4. Fold down the rear seats. 5. Remove the emergency switch cover to find it. Additional information: 1. The Volkswagen Tiguan is a vehicle produced by SAIC Volkswagen. 2. The SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan offers four versions with seven models in total: Urban, Trendline, Elite, and Flagship. 3. The Tiguan's trunk space can be adjusted flexibly between 400L and 1530L.
As a Volkswagen Tiguan owner with nearly a decade of driving experience, I'm quite familiar with these vehicle details. The emergency trunk release is typically located inside the trim panel of the tailgate, near the latch area, usually designed as a hidden mechanism with a small pull tab or button to activate. Last year when helping move items, I accidentally locked my tools inside the trunk, but fortunately this emergency release saved the day. Operation is simple - just locate it and give a firm pull to open the door. Regularly check its position during vehicle use to ensure it's not obstructed by items or covered in dust, preventing accessibility during emergencies. Safety first - the owner's manual provides clear instructions, and I recommend having the salesperson demonstrate and test it during vehicle pickup.
