How to Open the Malibu Trunk from the Inside?
2 Answers
Methods to open the Malibu trunk from the inside: 1. Press the trunk opening button on the smart key for about three seconds to open it; 2. With the car doors unlocked, press the black button next to the high-mounted brake light to open the trunk. The Malibu, officially known as the Chevrolet Malibu, is a mid-to-high-end sedan from General Motors, with body dimensions of 4855mm in length, 1854mm in width, and 1476mm in height. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5T top-mounted direct-injection turbo engine and a 6-speed automatic DSS intelligent start-stop transmission, adopting Chevrolet's unified tail badge naming convention.
I remember researching the Malibu before, and there is indeed an emergency release switch inside its trunk. If you ever get trapped in the trunk, don't panic—just look for a small square plastic cover or recess on the inner lining near the taillight side. Pry it open with a key or a hard card, and you'll find an orange or brightly colored pull cord inside. Give it a firm tug downward, and you'll hear a click as the trunk lid pops open. This design is crucial—U.S. regulations have long required all cars to have it, precisely to prevent accidental lock-ins. It's a good idea to teach your family how to use it; it could be a lifesaver in an emergency. Don't wait until you need it to find out the cord is worn out—check periodically to ensure it pulls smoothly.
