Where is the trunk opening button of the Tayron located?

The trunk opening button of the Tayron is located on the left front door interior trim panel, in the position of the main driver's compartment. Simply lift the button upwards with your hand, and the trunk lid will open. The trunk of the Volkswagen Tayron is generally flat with good practical dimensions: a depth of 900mm, a width of 1000mm, and a height of 740mm. The height of the trunk floor is almost the same as the outer edge, making it convenient for daily luggage handling. The Tayron comes in three length specifications: 4589mm, 4595mm, and 4590mm, with a width of 1860mm, a height of 1660mm, and a wheelbase of 2731mm.
I know this like the back of my hand! The Tiguan actually has two most common locations for its trunk buttons: One is on the driver's door panel, near the window controls - look for a button with a small car icon showing an open trunk, just press it to pop open. The more direct option is the physical button on the tailgate itself, usually designed to be super discreet - it's hidden in the recessed groove right above the license plate frame, just run your fingers upward to find it. Pro tip: You'll need to unlock the whole vehicle first after turning off the engine, otherwise it might not respond to prevent accidental triggers. Some higher trim models even come with a kick sensor, but remember to keep your key within 1 meter for that feature to work.
My car is also a Tayron, and the trunk button design is quite user-friendly. The exterior button is usually hidden in the black area right above the license plate on the tailgate, so it won't be accidentally pressed even on rainy days. There's another set of buttons next to the electronic handbrake on the center console—look closely for the trunk opening symbol. You can also open it remotely by holding down the button on the key, but the most convenient way is to press the tailgate button directly. Just remember to check for obstacles behind when opening the tailgate; the system has anti-pinch protection, but don't rely on it too much. Last time during maintenance, the technician mentioned that 90% of button failures are due to water in the wiring, so avoid blasting it with a high-pressure washer when washing the car.
The Tiguan L's trunk can be opened via physical buttons and smart controls. The primary physical button is located in the recess on the tailgate—simply feel above the license plate to find the tactile button. For smart controls, there are three methods: press and hold the trunk icon on the car key for 3 seconds; use the dedicated button on the driver's door armrest; or, for top trim levels, activate the kick sensor (swing your foot under the center of the rear bumper). If the button malfunctions, it could be due to a loose wiring connector or a blown fuse—check the 10A fuse labeled #47 in the left-side fuse box in the cockpit.
