Where is the trunk switch located on the older Changan CS35 model?

Changan CS35 is equipped with an electric trunk switch. Press the electric rear door switch on the instrument panel for more than 1 second; or press the open button on the interior trunk. Below are some related details: 1. Exterior: The overall appearance of the CS35 is robust and dynamic, featuring smooth, sharp, and clean lines. The front face design is highly impactful, with a bold grille that exudes sophistication. The headlights adopt a chiseled design style, complemented by naturally flowing curved trim rings and barrel-style lens covers, giving it a much more fashionable look from the front. 2. Powertrain: The Changan CS35 is powered by a new-generation Blue-Core efficient H-series 1.6L engine, which boasts three major advantages: 'powerful, clean, and quiet.' The 'clean' aspect refers to the CS35's use of technologies such as DVVT, DOHC, low friction, lightweight construction, and Bosch STT, resulting in lower fuel consumption and stronger power output, maximizing the efficiency of every drop of fuel.
I've driven the older Changan CS35 several times, and the trunk switch is easy to find and practical. It's usually on the control panel of the driver's door—just press the button to open it. Some models also have a button on the key for remote operation. The switch is conveniently located near the steering wheel, making it easy to use while driving, unlike some cars where you have to bend down and fumble around—a very thoughtful design. I've also noticed that many people overlook cleaning the switch. Over time, dust can accumulate or the contacts can oxidize, leading to malfunctions. Occasionally, if it doesn't open, it might just be a blown fuse or a loose wire. You can easily check and fix it yourself without panicking. Keeping the interior dry usually minimizes switch issues.
As someone who prioritizes car safety, I believe the location of the trunk switch is crucial. In the older CS35 model, it was typically placed on the driver's side door panel, allowing quick operation in emergencies, such as escaping or retrieving tools. The higher placement minimizes accidental openings by children, but the backup button on the remote key can also be used. If the switch fails, there's an emergency manual release under the rear of the car that can be pulled to open the trunk—remember to check it regularly to prevent sudden malfunctions, as ensuring driving safety is the top priority. For a simple DIY check, test the button's responsiveness; if it doesn't work, inspect the fuse or connection to avoid unnecessary repairs.
When repairing cars, I often come across older CS35 models where the trunk switch is most commonly located on the driver's door panel, with a clear position that makes it easy to press. Common issues include button sticking or aging wiring. You can first try cleaning the contacts or checking if the related fuse in the fuse box has blown. If it still doesn't work, there's also a backup handle at the rear of the car—just remove the panel to check the connection stability. Before starting, disconnect the battery's negative terminal to avoid short circuits. This task isn't hard to learn. For maintenance, avoid excessive force when pressing to prolong its lifespan.
