Where is the hood switch of the Volkswagen C-Trek?
2 Answers
The hood switch of the Volkswagen C-Trek is located next to the pillar at the lower left side of the dashboard in the cabin, and it is a handle. The Volkswagen C-Trek adopts Volkswagen's new German design language, perfectly blending smooth body lines with Alltrack design elements, complemented by multiple chrome and high-gloss black accents, giving the vehicle a strong sense of power and three-dimensionality. The C-Trek is the first crossover station wagon meticulously crafted by FAW-Volkswagen. The dimensions of this car are 4559mm in length, 1793mm in width, and 1487mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2614mm. The C-Trek features a simple and symmetrical design style, extensively using angular designs to create more three-dimensional surfaces, interpreting a sense of quality and sportiness.
When I first got my Volkswagen C-Trek, I also spent time looking for the hood release. Turns out it's at the lower left corner of the driver's seat. Near the door frame below the steering wheel, there's a plastic handle – just lean down and you'll feel it. Remember to pull it first, then walk to the front center of the car where there's a second mechanism under the hood. Slide your finger left to release it. Honestly, it was tricky the first time, so I always remind new owners: you need to pull the driver's side switch firmly until you hear a click, otherwise it won't work. If the rubber seal freezes in winter, don't force it – pour some warm water to thaw. Regularly spraying rust inhibitor on the latch can prolong its life, since this switch is indeed awkwardly placed.
