Where is the trunk switch button on a Mercedes-Benz car?
3 Answers
There is a button at the bottom of the driver's door window switch. Pulling this button upwards for more than 3 seconds will automatically open the trunk. Additionally, holding down the trunk unlock button on the key can also open the trunk. The close button is located at the bottom of the trunk door. Here are some related introductions about the car trunk: 1. Introduction one: The car trunk is a very important part of the car. When using the trunk, besides securing the items in place, it is also important not to place dangerous flammable or explosive items. When cleaning the car interior, do not neglect the hygiene of the trunk. 2. Introduction two: When cleaning the trunk, be careful not to directly scrub it with water. First, use a dry cloth to wipe away residual garbage and dust, then use a damp cloth to slowly scrub. After scrubbing, remember to properly ventilate the trunk. This not only prevents dust from remaining in the corners of the trunk but also provides some protection to the surface of the trunk.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz for five years, and the location of the trunk button depends on the specific model. For sedans like the C-Class or E-Class, there's a trunk icon button below the light control area on the left side of the steering wheel. For SUVs like the GLC, the button is located above the driver's door storage compartment. For hatchbacks such as the A-Class, there's a physical button in the middle of the rear bumper. You can also unlock the trunk by pressing and holding the rectangular button on the key fob for two seconds. The most convenient feature for rainy days when loading items is the kick sensor—simply swipe your foot under the middle of the rear bumper (as long as the key is in your pocket). New Mercedes-Benz owners should remember to try the opening height adjustment function in the settings to avoid hitting the trunk lid in low garages. There's also an emergency release handle on the inside of the trunk lid for emergencies.
With 20 years of car repair experience, the Mercedes trunk switch is typically found in three locations: for sedans, it's on the center console above the left leg; for SUVs, it's on the driver's door panel; and for older models, it might be hidden on the side of the glove compartment. Holding the key button too long will fully open the trunk, while a light press only unlocks it. Common issues include button failure, often due to a blown fuse (check the trunk fuse, labeled F36) or a faulty sensor. For the hands-free opening feature, you need to lift your foot directly in the center of the rear bumper—moving left or right won't work. Avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on the button during car washes, as this can cause water damage and short-circuit the electrical module, leading to costly replacements (over a thousand dollars). It's recommended to clean the button contacts monthly to prevent oxidation.
