Where is the trunk opening button on the Jetta?

Jetta trunk switch is located on the driver's side door panel, with a button marked with the trunk symbol being the trunk switch. The following is a related introduction about the Jetta trunk: 1. The Jetta trunk has an electric switch, which can be opened via the button on the driver's side door panel. When the car is turned off, a single press will open it, while when the car is just started, you need to hold the button for 3 seconds to open it. Alternatively, you can directly use the trunk key to twist into the trunk lock to open it. The dimensions of the Volkswagen New Jetta trunk are 1000mm in width, 590mm in height, and 1040mm in depth, with a volume of 466L. 2. The trunk space is relatively large, meeting the daily storage needs of families. The driver can open the trunk for others via the door panel button without getting out of the car. There is a light inside the trunk, making it convenient for the owner to take or place luggage at night. The car tools have designated placement areas, preventing noise caused by shaking. However, the lining material is relatively hard, making it less prone to deformation even when heavy objects are placed on it.

I've been using Jetta for several years, and the trunk button location depends on the model. For newer models like the VS5 or VS7, there's a dedicated trunk button on the remote key—just hold it for 2 seconds to pop it open. Inside the car, on the driver's side door panel near the window controls, there's a small button with a trunk icon; pressing it opens the trunk. Older Jetta models don’t have this feature—you’ll need to use the key in the trunk lock or reach for the mechanical release lever under the driver's seat. Also, there’s actually a hidden button near the lower center of the trunk lid, next to the license plate light, which opens the trunk when the key is nearby. When parking, I always check behind me before opening the trunk, especially at night, to avoid hitting anything.

Last time I helped a friend find the Jetta trunk button, it took some figuring out. There are mainly three ways: first, there's a trunk release button on the driver's side door panel inside the car; second, you can directly press the small button next to the license plate light on the trunk lid; third, use the button on the remote key. Remember, you need to hold the remote key button for a while—a short press only unlocks the doors. The location varies by model year, with newer versions mostly having it on the door. If using a mechanical key, insert it into the small hole in the middle of the trunk lid and turn. Before opening the trunk, make sure the car is unlocked, otherwise pressing the button won't do anything.

Opening the trunk of a Jetta actually has its tricks. The easiest way is to press and hold the button on the car key for more than two seconds. If you're inside the car, there's definitely a switch on the left door panel near the driver's seat. The control panel below the lower left corner of the steering wheel might also have a trunk button, as this design was common in older models. There's also a button on the plastic strip in the middle of the exterior trunk lid, but you'll need to unlock the doors first. If the key battery dies, the trunk keyhole is located above the license plate - just insert and turn the mechanical key. Always remember to check if the trunk is properly closed before driving.
