Where is the trunk switch of the Bluebird?

The trunk switch of the Bluebird is located under the left side of the driver's seat. It is a black handle. Pulling the handle upward opens the trunk, while pushing it downward opens the fuel tank cap. Taking the 2020 Bluebird as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4683mm, width 1780mm, height 1465mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The fuel tank capacity is 50 liters, and the curb weight is 1189kg. The 2020 Bluebird features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 126PS, a maximum power of 93kW, and a maximum torque of 168Nm. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
The first time I drove the Bluebird, I thought the trunk release was at the rear of the car, but I found it inside the driver's door, right next to the window buttons—a small button with a luggage icon. Press it, and the trunk pops open automatically, making daily use super convenient. There's also a remote button on the key fob, but the in-car button feels more intuitive. If the button doesn’t respond, check if the key battery is dead or if the doors are unlocked—sometimes it just doesn’t work if you forget to unlock. I really like the design placement—it’s space-efficient and easy to use, perfect for beginners like me to get the hang of quickly without fumbling in parking lots. By the way, the Bluebird’s interior storage layout is thoughtful, and the trunk is spacious, so loading luggage or shopping bags is hassle-free, making trips much smoother.
Having worked in car repair for many years, I've noticed that the trunk switch for the Bluebird is mostly located on the inner side of the driver's door or as a small button on the center console. Press it once to open, and don't panic if it fails. Common issues include aging circuits or blown fuses; first, check the fuse box under the dashboard to see if the corresponding fuse is intact. If the button has poor contact, try cleaning around its edges. The trunk switch is positioned reasonably to avoid interference with the unlock button. During routine maintenance, take a moment to wipe the switch area to maintain its sensitivity. I also recommend regular testing to ensure the battery isn't drained, affecting functionality. Simple maintenance can prolong its durability and make driving more reassuring.
