The trunk button is located on the left front door interior panel. Lift the button upwards to open the trunk lid. Vehicle trunk maintenance methods: 1. Use a brush to clean dirt when washing, including the edges and troughs of the trunk, followed by odor treatment after cleaning; 2. Use categorized cargo bags to organize items systematically; 3. Lay a trunk mat to prevent dirt or liquids from entering and eroding the trunk surface, while also preventing items inside from sliding, reducing the possibility of contamination or damage. The in-vehicle first aid kit in the trunk is placed on both sides of the trunk, hidden in a box that can be opened with a screwdriver to reveal. The first aid kit includes commonly used emergency supplies such as gauze, scissors, adhesive tape, alcohol cotton, gloves, and masks.

When I first started learning to drive, my instructor reminded me that the location of the trunk release button can vary significantly depending on the car model and year. Generally, it's commonly found in a few places: first, on the remote key fob, usually marked with a trunk icon—just a light press opens or closes it; second, inside the car, such as on the driver’s side door panel, near the seat or center console, where you can easily spot it with a glance or reach; some cars have more clever designs, placing a switch near the infotainment screen or below the left side of the steering wheel. I remember once during a trip when I couldn’t find the button, only to discover an emergency release handle inside the trunk, near the edge of the lid—designed to prevent accidental locking. For safety, it’s always wise to spend a couple of minutes familiarizing yourself with its location when renting or switching to a new car, avoiding any awkward situations.

When driving out with friends, we often talk about where the trunk button is located, only to find out it's not in a standardized position. On most private cars, you're likely to find a button directly on the car key—just press it to open, which is super convenient. Inside the car, the button cluster on the door panel near the driver's seat is a common spot, or around the dashboard area on the center console. For example, my old car had it hidden below the right side of the steering wheel; a few tries and you'd get used to it. Also, don’t forget that some high-end cars come with a kick sensor feature—just stand behind the car and lift your foot to open it, but this depends on the configuration. In short, the location varies widely, but with a bit of practice and habit, you'll get the hang of it.

Finding the trunk button while driving is simple and practical: There is usually a button on the key, commonly found on the door panel or center console inside the car, and there is also an emergency switch inside the trunk, with the location varying by vehicle model.
