To open the boot of the Volkswagen Golf, you can perform two different operations: the first is using the remote control by pressing the button with the car icon and an open boot. This will unlock the lock and open the boot.

The other method for opening the boot is manual activation. To do this, press the Volkswagen emblem located at the centre of the boot at the top: this will act as a lever to unlock the lock and lift the boot.
