Where is the emergency trunk release switch located on the Passat?
1 Answers
Passat's trunk release switch is positioned below the driver's door armrest, above the door storage compartment. Below are the consequences of driving with an unclosed trunk: 1. During braking or acceleration: Loaded cargo may be ejected from the vehicle, potentially causing property damage at minimum, or striking following vehicles and triggering traffic accidents at worst. 2. Falling objects: This creates road debris that obstructs following traffic and may cause severe road congestion. 3. On bumpy roads: The entire trunk lid may lift up, blocking the rear windshield and impairing driver visibility. This prevents drivers from monitoring rear traffic conditions, increasing accident risks.
