How to Open the Equinox's Trunk?
2 Answers
Equinox is a model officially released by Chevrolet, featuring Chevrolet's latest family-style design. There are two methods to open the Equinox's trunk: 1. Press the interior switch button: Press the interior switch button, and the trunk will open. Some models have gear adjustment for the trunk switch, rotating from top to bottom for full open, half open, and close; 2. If there is no trunk switch inside the car or on the key, use another method: (1) The car door needs to be unlocked to open the trunk; (2) Go to the trunk, find the trunk switch and pull it, then the trunk will automatically open; (3) To close, simply push the tailgate down.
I find the Equinox's trunk quite user-friendly, offering three main ways to open it: First, using the button on the remote key fob, usually marked with a trunk icon—just press it to unlock, perfect for when you're a few meters away in a parking lot. Second, there's an interior release button located near the driver's door handle; pressing it directly opens the trunk, which is very convenient while driving. Lastly, there's a manual switch at the bottom of the trunk lid—a light press opens it, handy if the key fob battery dies. I often use these features after grocery shopping, like pressing the button while holding heavy bags—thoughtful design. I’ve also heard some higher trims offer a foot-activated sensor; just swipe your foot under the rear bumper, and it opens automatically (requires the smart key in your pocket). This innovation makes hands-free shopping even easier. Overall, a few tries will get you used to it, and the Equinox hasn’t disappointed in practicality.
