Where is the trunk switch located on the old Jetta?

On the old Jetta, the trunk switch is located on the driver's side door. Alternatively, you can insert the car key into the trunk lock to open it. For the new Jetta models, the trunk is usually opened with the key, and some models have a trunk release switch on the center console. The Jetta is a brand of Volkswagen AG in Germany, with body dimensions of 4501mm in length, 1704mm in width, and 1469mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2604mm. In terms of appearance, the Jetta adheres to the pure Volkswagen design style, featuring a cool and handsome yet elegant exterior that makes it a fashion pioneer. The car's simple and dynamic body lines exude endless vitality, complemented by refined interior with chrome trim and rich circular elements, creating a distinctive and elegant style.
As an owner who has driven many older cars, the trunk release button placement in the classic Jetta was quite well-designed. It's typically located below the door panel on the inner side of the driver's seat - just a small button. You press it and the trunk pops open automatically, very convenient. For the earliest 1980s models, you might need to use the key to unlock the trunk via the keyhole located above the license plate. This trunk release positioning avoids the need to bend over, improving loading/unloading efficiency. Cars from that era were reliable and durable, with switches rarely failing, but remember to periodically check for contact point corrosion to maintain smooth operation and extend lifespan.
