The trunk opening button for the Bluebird is located below the left side of the driver's seat. There is a black handle approximately 1.5 cm wide and about a dozen centimeters long. Pulling the handle upward opens the trunk, while pushing it downward opens the fuel tank cap. The Bluebird's body dimensions are 4683 mm in length, 1780 mm in width, and 1465 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. In terms of exterior design, this car continues the current model's design, featuring a fastback style with a short and high rear end, giving the body a diving posture. The A, B, and C pillars are all black, creating a popular floating roof visual effect. Regarding safety features, the car has mainly upgraded its active safety system. The active safety system includes a pre-collision braking system, lane departure warning system, blind spot monitoring system, and rear cross-traffic alert system.

When I first bought my Bluebird, I also couldn't find the trunk button. After some exploration, I realized the buttons are mainly in two locations: The most commonly used one is on the car key - there's a trunk icon button, and holding it for three seconds will automatically pop open the trunk. The other is on the driver's door armrest, aligned with the window switches - there's a physical button with a trunk symbol. Mid-to-low trim models might not have the door panel button, in which case you can only open it via the key. Newer Bluebird models also have an electronic switch option in the infotainment screen menu. When searching for the button, I recommend checking the key first as it's the most intuitive locating method. By the way, a reminder not to try pressing the buttons when the car is locked, as it will trigger the alarm.

Last month, a friend drove his Bluebird to visit me, and we spent quite some time in the parking lot figuring out the trunk button. Eventually, we realized that the Bluebird's opening mechanism is quite typical: the remote key must have an independent button; there's always a physical button in the driver's side door control panel, right next to the mirror adjustment knob; some higher-end models even support kick-sensing trunk opening. One easily overlooked detail: if the car key runs out of , you can lift the hidden slot under the trunk lid edge to find a mechanical keyhole. It's recommended that owners remember to clean the button area when washing the car, as accumulated dirt may cause button failure.

Neighbor Lao Wang has been running an auto repair shop for twenty years. He mentioned that the location of the Bluebird's trunk button follows Japanese car conventions. The button on the key is usually the most reliable; the door panel button is positioned above the left front door handle, about two fingers' width away from the window switch. In special cases where the button fails, you can pull the emergency release ring next to the second-row seats. When opening mechanically, remember to press the middle of the trunk lid and lift upwards with force, which is more effortless than simply pulling the edge. For older models without an electric button, you can directly insert the key into the tailgate lock and turn it to open.

Having driven three different model years of the Bluebird, I noticed a consistent design in the trunk button placement. The key button is always the most straightforward, located in the center of the side with the logo; the door button is consistently near the driver's side door handle. Notably: newer models allow customization of button sensitivity in the 'Vehicle Settings' on the central display; if the button is unresponsive during rainy weather, it might be due to damp circuits—try spraying some moisture repellent into the button gaps. An alternative method is to hold the unlock button on the car key for five seconds, as some Bluebird model years will simultaneously unlock the trunk.

Last time I helped my cousin find the button for her Bluebird, I summarized a few key points: First, check the key for the most obvious location; second, inspect the central control area on the driver's door; third, newer models can be activated by voice command (say 'open the trunk'); fourth, older models have a hidden keyhole at the bottom. During actual use, I discovered two tricks: pressing the unlock button on the key twice in a row can directly open the trunk; for models with a key, when you approach the trunk and reach your hand into the sensor area under the lid, it will automatically unlock. The button placement is actually more ergonomic than in German cars, but the icon is too small and easy to miss.
