Where is the trunk escape switch located?
2 Answers
Open the trunk, and you will find a small black box on the upper part of the trunk lid. Inside this box is the trunk escape device, also known as the trunk escape button. As the frequency of traffic accidents increases, many manufacturers have designed this button for safety purposes. There are several types of escape devices: 1. Pull-string or pull-ring escape device: Usually, there is a pull-string or pull-ring on the trunk lid, and some even use self-luminous materials, making it easy for the owner to locate in the very dark environment of the trunk. There is no difficulty in operation; just pull it outward with force to open the trunk. 2. Cover-type escape device: There is usually a cover plate that needs to be pried open during use, and then the lock core can be moved with a finger to pop open the trunk. 3. Hidden escape device: The opening device is usually hidden in a small hole and requires auxiliary tools like a key to operate.
I've been driving for many years and even repaired some old cars before. I found that the trunk escape switch is actually quite important—it can save lives if someone gets trapped inside. Generally, this switch is located on the inner side of the trunk lid. When you open the rear door and look up, it's usually a small pull ring or button near the center or edge. Some cars even have fluorescent labels to make it easier to find in the dark. I once encountered a friend whose car's locking system failed, and he had to fumble around inside for a while before finding it. Since then, I regularly check if my car's switch is functioning smoothly. However, I'd like to remind everyone not to test it randomly to avoid accidentally unlocking it. Newer cars are required by regulations to have this feature, while older models might need retrofitting—safety first! Knowing more about your car's internal structure can prevent panic in emergencies. This is definitely essential knowledge.
