Where is the trunk switch of the Bora?

[LeGavin]

The Volkswagen Bora has a trunk switch on the door panel; pressing it will open the rear. Additionally, there is a trunk button on the remote key—holding it down can also open the trunk. The Bora is FAW-Volkswagen's first independently designed model, hailed as a new car that "inherits and surpasses the classic." More details are as follows: 1. For the 2019 Bora, there are only two ways to open the trunk: one is for the driver to stand outside the car and press the button on the key to open the trunk. The other is if the door is unlocked, the driver can stand near the trunk and lift it manually to open. 2. The 2019 Bora's trunk is synchronized with the door controls—unlocking the door also unlocks the trunk, and closing the door similarly closes the trunk.

I've been driving my Bora for two years, and the location of the trunk switch depends on the situation. When picking up things in the parking lot, the most convenient way is to long-press the trunk button on the remote key—it pops open with one press. If you want to open the trunk from inside the car, there's a button with a trunk icon above the driver's door storage compartment; pressing it will open the trunk. There's also a hidden switch outside—the Volkswagen logo on the trunk lid. Pressing the bottom area of the logo slightly will open it, which is a clever design. Once, when I had groceries in my hands, I opened the trunk by kicking below the logo. Additionally, older models have a physical lever on the left side of the steering wheel, but newer models have simplified it to an interior button. Different switches for different scenarios—once you're familiar with them, things become much easier.

As a mechanic, I've inspected many Bora models, and the trunk switch is located in three places. There's a mechanical trunk release lever on the dashboard near the driver's left foot—just pull it to open, which is the most direct method. Inside the car, the electronic button is on the far right of the driver's window control panel, marked with a trunk symbol. Externally, you can press the lower half of the VW logo on the trunk lid—this electronic switch is quite responsive. The remote key also works, but you need to hold it for two seconds to be effective. A reminder: if the switch fails, first check the fuse box for any blown fuses, as trunk electronic lock failures are quite common. Also, avoid letting water accumulate in the trunk, as it can oxidize the switch contacts.

I enjoy using the remote key to open the trunk of my Bora. Just press and hold the button for three seconds, and it works like a charm. The in-car switch is located on the driver's side door panel, lined up with the window buttons. Simply press the button with the trunk symbol to open it. The VW logo at the rear can also open the trunk—just press gently below the emblem. Once, a friend couldn't find the switch, but it's really that simple. The new Bora even integrates the switch into the keyless entry system: stand near the rear with the key for two seconds, and the trunk automatically unlocks and opens. In emergencies, you can also use the key in the tailgate lock, though it's rarely needed. Remember these three locations, but the most practical method is still the remote key.

When I first got my Bora, I spent quite some time figuring out the trunk switch. There's a dedicated button on the front of the driver's door armrest—just a light press pops it open. The VW logo at the rear integrates the switch function; pressing the bottom area of the logo opens it directly. For the remote key, hold down the trunk symbol button for two seconds. Note: it's best to step on the brake before opening the trunk from inside to prevent rolling. After opening the trunk in the rain, make sure it's closed tightly to avoid water seeping into the electronic switch. Remember to regularly clean mud and dirt around the logo to maintain switch sensitivity. These details are all in the manual, but in practice, the door button is the most convenient—just press it when parked.

When using the Bao Lai to pick up packages, the trunk is frequently used, and the switches are mainly located in three places. The most convenient method before getting in the car is to press and hold the trunk button on the key. To open it while seated inside, look for the trunk icon button on the driver's door panel, located next to the power window switches. If you forget to open it after getting out of the car, simply press the lower half of the Volkswagen logo on the rear. Once, during rain, I was outside getting soaked looking for the switch when a security guard reminded me to just press the logo—it was a lifesaver. The positions vary slightly depending on the model year; older cars have a lever under the steering wheel. Newer models even feature a foot-sensing trunk opening, but unfortunately, the Bao Lai doesn’t have this feature. After trying a few times, you’ll remember—most commonly, you’ll just use the in-car button or the key.
