Where is the trunk switch located in the Volkswagen Tiguan?
2 Answers
The trunk switch of the Volkswagen Tiguan is located below the driver's door handle, above the door storage compartment, with a trunk symbol marked on it. Below is an introduction to the Tiguan's trunk: 1. The trunk capacity of the Tiguan is 400-1530L. 2. The automatic trunk opening function requires the installation of an electric trunk. Similar to electric doors, the electric trunk refers to the trunk being opened and closed electrically. 3. Some models also feature a remote control function. To open the trunk, simply press the button inside the car, and the trunk will open automatically. To close the trunk, press the close button inside the trunk, and it will close by itself (the location of the button may vary depending on the model).
I've been driving a Volkswagen Tiguan for over five years, and I'm very familiar with the location of the trunk release button inside the car. It's mainly located on the driver's side door panel, right next to the window adjustment buttons. You'll need to look down slightly, and usually, there's a small button or lever there—just press it gently to open the trunk. Don't rush when searching for it; on some older models, the button might be positioned lower or on the steering wheel side, requiring you to feel around the door trim. If you still can't find it, check the center console for a backup button. Also, don't overlook the functionality of your car key—holding down the trunk button on the key can also open it, which is super convenient. The design of this switch is for safety reasons, allowing you to use it when parked to avoid accidents. Make sure the car is stable when opening the trunk, and avoid opening it while driving. By the way, the trunk release is connected to the door lock system, so regularly cleaning dust can prevent jamming issues. If the button stops working, there might be a minor wiring problem, and it's best to have a mechanic check it to prevent further issues.
