To open the tailgate of a Volkswagen Touran, insert the car key into your pocket or keep it nearby. Doing this allows you to give a gentle kick to the lower part of the rear bumper.

Thanks to a sensor located at this point, the tailgate lock will unlock, and the tailgate will lift completely, granting access to the boot. To close it again, simply press the button located at the base of the tailgate.
