Where is the trunk switch on the 2021 Envision?
2 Answers
Envision's trunk switch is located below the driver's side door inside the cabin, while the emergency trunk release is on the trunk door itself. Trunk Overview: The trunk features electric or remote-controlled opening/closing mechanisms. To open it, simply press the interior button or use the remote key, and the trunk will automatically open. Basic Structure of the Trunk: Its fundamental structure consists of two spindle-driven rods. Each drive rod, powered by a spindle actuator, comprises an inner tube and outer tube. The inner tube houses a motor and gear system that drives a threaded spindle, which moves along a threaded nut fixed to the inner wall of the outer tube.
I've driven the 2021 Envision, and the trunk release has several convenient locations. On the driver's door trim panel, there's a button cluster - the center one with a trunk icon opens it with a light press. Externally, there's a small round button with a symbol right at the center bottom edge of the tailgate - just push with your finger. The key fob also has a dedicated trunk button that unlocks with a short press. In practice, I mostly use the door button to avoid getting out. The new model features smart sensing too - when the key is in your pocket near the tailgate, it automatically lights up as a reminder. For maintenance, keep the buttons clean to prevent dust buildup; occasional wiping maintains responsiveness.
