Trunk access
You have several options for accessing the trunk hatch. For example, you can open it manually or use the hands-free feature.
Warning
Be aware when the trunk is opening or closing. Make sure that no people are in the vicinity of the trunk when it is in motion. Always use the trunk access functions with caution. If there is an obstruction when closing the trunk, you will hear a beep.
Do not interfere with the trunk support arms; they are highly pressurized, and tampering with them can result in serious injury.
After use, check the display for indications that the trunk is fully closed.
Note
Pinch protection
The vehicle can detect obstructions to the trunk hatch when opening or closing. If the trunk hatch tries to close with an obstruction in the way, you will hear a warning sound and the trunk will open fully. If pinch protection activates while the trunk hatch is opening, the lid will stop moving.
Opening the trunk manually
If the vehicle is unlocked, you can simply open the trunk using the button above the license plate.
Opening and closing the trunk hands-free
If you're carrying a distance-capable key, you can use the hands-free feature. Make a single kicking motion under the rear bumper and the trunk will open or close automatically.
Access via the center display
You can open and close the trunk using the controls in the center display. Press and hold the button to complete the trunk movement.
Using the trunk closing button
Press the trunk closing button on the inner right side of the trunk hatch to close it.
You can also use the closing button to adjust how far the trunk opens. This is useful if you want the trunk hatch to stay within easy reach or if you are somewhere with a low ceiling, such as a garage.
Locking the trunk
The trunk will automatically lock when you close all of the doors and lock the vehicle as you normally would. You can also press the trunk locking button on the inside of the trunk hatch or lock and unlock the trunk via the Volvo Cars app.
Press the trunk locking button when carrying a distance-capable key to close the trunk and lock the vehicle. If the trunk can't lock for some reason, you will hear three beeps.
Note
Locking with the trunk open
If the trunk is not properly closed when you lock the vehicle, the alarm won't be fully enabled. In these cases, the alarm will only protect the side doors.
The vehicle also won't detect any motion inside if you've locked it with the trunk still open.
Once you close the trunk, it will lock and be covered by the alarm.
