Where is the trunk switch located in a Skoda?
2 Answers
Skoda's trunk switch is located to the left of the brake pedal. Simply press the button to open the trunk. The trunk's function is to absorb and cushion part of the collision energy in rear-end accidents, thereby reducing or minimizing passenger injuries and fatalities. Taking the Skoda Octavia as an example, this model is part of the SAIC Skoda lineup, with dimensions of 4659mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2686mm. In terms of power, this car is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, a maximum torque of 200Nm, and a maximum power output of 85kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving a Skoda for ten years, and the location of the trunk switch is actually quite user-friendly. For most models, such as the Octavia or Kodiaq, you can find it in several places: the first choice is the small button on the car key—just press it to unlock, quick and easy. Inside the car, there’s usually a dedicated button on the door armrest next to the driver’s seat, integrated into the window control panel, making it easy to operate with just a touch. If you're outside the car, there’s also an external button at the bottom of the trunk lid near the license plate—just lift it gently to open. Some newer models even come with a hands-free sensor function, allowing you to open the trunk by waving your foot near the rear without needing to take out the key. Note that the location may vary between models; older versions might have it in a corner of the dashboard. If the switch malfunctions, first check the key battery or for dust blockage—keeping it clean usually helps. Safety tip: Always make sure the trunk is securely closed before driving to avoid items falling out. This design is really thoughtful, allowing easy access while driving.
