The trunk switch of Roewe 550 is located above the license plate. When the vehicle is unlocked, simply press the button to open the trunk. The dimensions of the Roewe 550 are: length 4648mm, width 1827mm, height 1483mm, with a wheelbase of 2705mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 62 liters, a trunk capacity of 452 liters, a minimum ground clearance of 190mm, and a curb weight of 1485kg. The Roewe 550 features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 133PS, a maximum power of 98kW, and a maximum torque of 170Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving my Roewe 550 for several years, and the trunk release button is generally located on the upper part of the driver's side door panel. To be specific, when you're seated in the driver's seat, there's a small button on the left-hand door panel. Press it, and the trunk will pop open automatically. This design is quite convenient because you can operate it with just a stretch of your hand while driving, without having to turn your head to search for it. When I first started using the car, it took me a while to find it, but later I discovered it was right there, not far from the window controls. If you're a new driver, you might need some time to get used to its location. If the button doesn't respond, check if the car is still locked or if the remote key fob has enough battery. Remember, it's safer to open the trunk after parking. When washing the car or loading/unloading items, I habitually press that button and have never had any issues. On rainy days, the button can sometimes be slippery, so I recommend wiping the button area with a dry cloth. In short, knowing its exact location can save you a lot of trouble.
When I first bought my Roewe 550, I was also a novice and completely confused about the location of the trunk release button. Later, I figured out that it's on the inner side of the driver's door, roughly where your elbow would rest. A gentle press opens the trunk. If you mistakenly look elsewhere, like the buttons under the center console, you might end up pressing other function buttons. I've had my share of embarrassing moments, pressing the wrong button and activating the lights instead. Now I've learned to first check the door panel. My advice is to take your time after getting in the car, calmly locate that small protruding button. Additionally, there's a trunk button on the key fob—just hold it down to open the trunk, saving you the hassle of reaching inside the car. If you still can't find it, don't panic; refer to the owner's manual for the diagram. Stay patient, and with a few tries, you'll master it effortlessly.
