Where is the trunk of the driving school car opened?

[MollyLee]

The trunk of the driving school car can be opened via the car key or buttons. Here are the specific instructions for operating the trunk switch of a driving school car: 1. Door trunk button: Located on the interior door panel in the main driver's compartment, you'll find a trunk release button. Simply lift the button upwards with your hand to open the trunk lid. 2. Rear lid button: On the lower edge of the rear lid, between the left and right license plate lights, there's a button to open the trunk. This requires the vehicle to be in an unlocked state. Lift the button upwards to release the trunk lid. 3. Using the key: The key has three buttons, with the middle one serving as the trunk release button. Press and hold the middle button for about 3 seconds to automatically open the trunk lid.

When I first started learning to drive, I also couldn't find the trunk switch of the training car. Most training cars are older models, and the switch is usually hidden under the left side of the driver's seat, near where the left foot rests. You have to bend down to look for a plastic lever or button. Some training cars have it moved to the door panel or require using the key to open. Once, I couldn't find it and was sweating with anxiety, but the instructor said you'll remember after trying a few more times. Don't be afraid to ask the instructor—they know the exact location since they handle the car every day. The learning process requires bold questions so you won't be clueless when buying your own car later.

The trunk release for training cars is usually located near the driver's left foot, either below the dashboard near the door or in a floor recess. Common training cars like the Santana and Jetta typically use a cable-style release—just pull it to pop the trunk open. Some newer training models may have a button instead, usually placed on the left side of the center console or the door panel. If you can't find it, ask the instructor to demonstrate—it's normal for beginners to be unfamiliar. With a bit of practice, muscle memory will kick in. It's important to locate all controls before driving.

Most coach cars have the trunk release located near the driver's left knee area, which could be either a pull handle or a button. For older Santana models, there's a small finger loop to the left of the clutch pedal - just pull it to open. If you can't open the trunk during practice, don't force it; the instructor will guide you. During exams, if you encounter an unfamiliar car, stay calm and politely ask the examiner about the trunk release location. While opening the trunk seems like a minor detail, it's an essential skill to master before hitting the road.

The location of the trunk switch varies among different training vehicles, but it is usually near the driver's seat. In traditional driving schools with Santana training cars, the switch is right next to the left foot, and you can see a black pull ring when bending down. Some training vehicles have relocated the switch under the center console for safety or require a key to open. When I first started learning to drive, I would always take extra time to familiarize myself with the switch location, which was much easier than finding the steering wheel lock. Instructors typically teach the switch location three times—remembering it ensures no panic during the test.

Among the students I've taught, 80% couldn't find the trunk release of the training car. Actually, it's located on the outer side of the left leg - just bend down to see it. Older training cars use cable-release switches, while newer models may have button controls. The first few days of driving lessons should focus on memorizing control locations: steering wheel lock, handbrake, trunk release, and hazard light button. If you can't find them, just ask the instructor - we always point out these locations when training new students.
