Where is the interior trunk switch located in the Highlander?
2 Answers
Toyota Highlander's trunk switch is located on the driver's side of the center console. Here is additional information about the Highlander's trunk: 1. Interior space: Without folding down the rear seats, the Highlander's trunk offers a cargo capacity of 162L, easily accommodating various types of backpacks and suitcases of different sizes. When the rear seats are folded down, the interior space becomes very flat and spacious, with highly efficient space utilization. 2. Dimensions: Approximately 190mm in height, 1060mm in width, with a maximum depth of about 2090mm, a minimum depth of about 435mm, and a depth to the second row of about 1075mm.
I've been driving a Highlander for several years, and the interior trunk release switch is most commonly located on the driver's side door panel, near the window control buttons. It's usually a button or small lever—just press it to open. For example, the 2020 model typically has it there, and operation is straightforward. However, there might be slight variations across different model years; older versions might have a sensor area near the driver's footwell. If you can't find it, don't panic—check the user manual for a diagram or ask a technician at the dealership. The placement is quite ergonomic, allowing easy access while driving, but I remind myself to only use it when the car is stationary to avoid accidents. During routine maintenance, take a moment to check the switch and clear any dust buildup to prevent malfunctions.
