Toyota RAV4's trunk switch is located on the left side of the center console. Gently press the trunk button to open the trunk lid. Additionally, you can also use the key to turn the switch. Many models allow direct unlocking of the trunk via the key by pressing the trunk unlock button on the key. Below is some extended information about the RAV4: 1. The RAV4 is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine: The current RAV4 comes with two naturally aspirated engines, one is a 2.0-liter and the other is a 2.5-liter. The model equipped with the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine is a hybrid model, paired with two types of motors, one with 120 horsepower and the other with 174 horsepower. 2. The hybrid version of the RAV4 is a conventional hybrid vehicle: The hybrid version of the RAV4 is just a regular hybrid vehicle, not a plug-in hybrid. The hybrid version of the RAV4 has good fuel economy and strong power. Conventional hybrid vehicles cannot be charged using an external power source, and their pure electric range is relatively short. The model with the 120-horsepower motor is front-wheel drive, while the model with the 174-horsepower motor is all-wheel drive.

When driving the RAV4 daily, I noticed the trunk release button is typically located on the driver's side door panel inside the car. There's a clearly marked button that opens the trunk with a simple press, conveniently positioned near the power window controls for easy access. For newer models post-2018, the switch might be more integrated into the control panel, offering simple and reliable operation. If the button malfunctions, don't worry—the remote key fob has a trunk icon button; hold it for a few seconds to pop the trunk automatically, or look for a manual release button on the trunk lid itself. Safety tip: Always operate it after parking to avoid distractions while driving. I also recommend periodically checking if the button is loose or dusty—cleaning it with a soft cloth can prevent many malfunctions. The location may vary slightly across different RAV4 model years (e.g., older versions had a lever under the steering wheel), but the overall design remains user-friendly.

I'm very familiar with the location of the RAV4's trunk release switch, which is primarily located on the inner side of the driver's door inside the vehicle. The button design is intuitive and easy to operate. In fact, the details of this switch vary slightly depending on the model year. For example, post-2020 models lean more towards electronic control, integrating the switch into the door panel button area, while older models might rely on a mechanical lever. The remote key is also a convenient option, allowing one-touch trunk opening. To enrich the information, I recommend new owners first park and familiarize themselves with the switch location, avoiding random button presses while driving. If the switch fails, there's a physical lock hole near the trunk lid—using the key to manually turn it can provide an emergency opening. Maintenance is crucial; I usually use cotton swabs to clean dust from the button crevices to enhance sensitivity. In summary, locating it is simple, but paying attention to small details is important.

Finding the RAV4's trunk switch is really not difficult. It's located on the door panel next to the driver inside the car—just press the small button to open it. There's also a button on the remote key; press and hold it to automatically pop open the trunk. After parking, you can check the trunk lid from the outside, as sometimes there's a button there too. Always ensure the car is safely parked before operating—safety first.
