The Santa Fe trunk switch is located on the door next to the driver's seat or on the key fob. Opening via the driver's side button: Use the trunk button inside the vehicle. On the left front door, which is the driver's side, you can find a trunk release button on the door panel. Simply lift the button upward to open the trunk lid. Opening via the trunk button: Use the button on the trunk lid. Below the trunk lid, near the edge between the left and right license plate lights, there is a button to open the trunk. Press the button upward to release the trunk lid. Opening via the key fob: Use the key fob to open the trunk. The key fob has three buttons, with the middle button being the trunk release.

I've been driving the Santa Fe to take my kids to and from school for several years, so I'm very familiar with the location of the trunk release button. It's usually on the left side of the center console near the driver, with a small button featuring an icon that's easy to recognize at a glance. Alternatively, there might be a button on the right-hand side door panel when you're seated in the driver's seat—just press it lightly and the trunk pops open. It's super convenient when you're carrying stuff, like groceries or your kid's bicycle, as you don't even need to get out of the car. The key fob also has a trunk button; hold it down for a few seconds and the trunk opens automatically, which is really hassle-free. There's even an external button on the tailgate itself—perfect for when you're loading items and just need a quick press. And in case of an electronic failure, there's a hidden manual release lever inside the trunk for safety emergencies. These thoughtful designs make daily use both effortless and secure.
