Automatic transmission trunk unlock button: Press the trunk unlock button on the remote key or the switch on the lower left side of the driver's seat; the trunk can also be controlled via the car's central control screen. Below are the specific methods to open the trunk: 1. Use the door trunk button: In the main driver's position, on the door trim panel, you will find a trunk opening button. Simply lift the button upwards with your hand to open the trunk lid. 2. Open via the rear lid button: On the edge below the rear lid of the car, specifically between the left and right license plate lights, there is a button to open the trunk. The vehicle must be in an unlocked state. Then, pull the button upwards with your hand to open the trunk lid. 3. Open via the car key: The key has three buttons, with the middle one being the trunk lid opening button. Press and hold the middle button for about 3 seconds, and the trunk lid will automatically open.

I've driven quite a few automatic transmission cars, and the trunk unlock button is usually located near the driver's door or on the center console. The button has an icon shaped like a trunk—just press it. Among common car models, Toyota usually has a dedicated button on the upper part of the center console, while Honda places it above the door handle. If you can't find it, first check if the key is inside the car and whether the car is started or in Park (P) mode—otherwise, the button might not work. Once, my button malfunctioned, and after checking, I found out it was a blown fuse. Replacing it fixed the issue. Paying attention to these details during regular maintenance can save you a lot of trouble. Don't worry—just try a few more times, and you'll get the hang of it.

Using the remote key to open the trunk is the most convenient method. Simply press the button with the trunk icon on the key, and you'll hear the unlocking sound after a few seconds. Many car keys now feature this function, especially in Volkswagen and Ford models, making the operation effortless. If it doesn't work, remember the car must be in P (Park) gear and unlocked; otherwise, the system will lock it to prevent safety risks. Additionally, the key can be used to set one-touch window closing and other practical functions. Developing good habits helps reduce mistakes.

Try the buttons inside the car or the key remote, if neither works, go directly to the trunk to check. Some manual switches are located near the lock—just press to open. This is suitable for quick solutions in emergencies, and some older car models are designed with press-type latches. Before operating, ensure the car is parked in the P gear position to avoid risks. Sometimes, a simple manual approach is more straightforward than searching for buttons.
