Where is the trunk switch of Changan CS55PLUS?
4 Answers
Here are the methods to open the trunk of Changan CS55PLUS: 1. On the driver's door panel, press the trunk button to open it. 2. Alternatively, use the trunk button on the key, press and hold for 2-3 seconds to open. 3. If the smart key is not nearby and remote opening is not possible, press and hold the trunk button on the key for 2 seconds to open it. Additional Information: There are several ways to open a car trunk: 1. Mechanical key opening. Insert the key into the tailgate lock to open or close the tailgate, which is the most mechanical method. Nowadays, this method is almost obsolete. 2. Direct opening with remote key. Opening the car trunk with a remote key is the most direct and simplest method. It is quite straightforward—just press the trunk opening button on the remote key. 3. Pressing the unlock button directly. Some car models may not have a dedicated trunk opening button on the remote key. In such cases, pressing the unlock button will also unlock the tailgate. 4. Smart sensing key + tailgate switch. Another method involves car models equipped with a smart sensing key. As long as the remote key is within a certain range (usually about 1 meter), pressing the switch on the tailgate will directly open the trunk.
I just picked up this car and it took me a few days to familiarize myself with the switch locations. There's definitely a button on the door, specifically among the row of control buttons on the left side of the driver's seat, the one with the trunk icon. There's also a switch on the rear door, right above the license plate frame in the black area—just press it firmly to open. Don’t forget about the key either; holding the unlock button for three seconds will automatically pop open the trunk. When I first bought the car, I foolishly stood at the rear searching for a while, only to realize later that the in-car switch is the most practical. On rainy days or when carrying heavy items, you don’t have to walk out in the rain to operate it—just press the button from the driver’s seat. Now, if the rear is blocked when parking, I simply open the trunk directly from the in-car switch to load things.
Last week, I helped my neighbor locate the trunk release button, and honestly, the design is quite logical. The most obvious one is right in the middle of the rear tailgate, a slightly raised button below the reversing camera—just a gentle press opens it. Inside the car, there's also a switch on the driver's side door panel control area, near the window controls. Holding down the trunk button on the key fob works too. I've seen people pressing hard on the rear license plate, but the actual switch is in the area above it. In terms of frequency of use, the in-car button is the most practical since your hand doesn’t need to leave the steering wheel. There’s also an emergency pull cord inside the trunk, which comes in handy if there’s an electronic malfunction.
Yesterday, I taught my wife how to use the trunk switch and found its location is actually quite obvious. The first method is on the driver's door panel, where you can find a trunk icon button near the side mirror adjustment knob. The second method is at the rear of the car, where there's a circular switch right in the center of the black anti-scratch strip. If using the key, you need to unlock the vehicle before the trunk can be opened. I've noticed many beginners make the mistake of pressing the switch hard without unlocking first, which is futile. I recommend using the interior button more often, especially in summer when the car is parked outside, so you don't have to open the rear hatch under the scorching sun.
