How to Open the Trunk of a Cadillac?
3 Answers
There are several methods to open the trunk of a Cadillac: 1. Press the trunk switch on the driver's door; 2. Quickly press the trunk button on the remote key twice in succession; 3. After all doors are unlocked, press the touch switch above the license plate at the rear of the trunk. For keyless entry vehicles, when the vehicle is locked, the trunk can be opened by pressing the touch switch above the license plate while the remote key is within 1 meter of the rear of the vehicle. Cadillac is a brand under General Motors in the United States, and its emblem features a 'crown' and 'shield' heraldic pattern.
I just bought a Cadillac XT5, and there are multiple ways to open the trunk. The car key has a dedicated trunk button—just press and hold it to pop open. There's also a button with a luggage icon on the driver's side door panel; press it once, and the power tailgate will lift up automatically. The most convenient feature is the kick sensor: when you're carrying items, simply sweep your foot under the rear bumper (remember to aim for the center), and the trunk will open automatically. The power tailgate also allows you to set the opening height—hold the close button to adjust it to your preferred height, then press and hold the lock button on the key to save the setting.
Last week, while driving a friend's Cadillac CT6, I specifically studied the trunk. In addition to the traditional key and in-car button, I discovered that the central control screen can be set to a smart opening mode. After enabling the hands-free liftgate function in the vehicle settings, when approaching the rear of the car within one meter with the key, the trunk will automatically unlock and pop open slightly. In case of a system freeze or other special circumstances, there's a hidden mechanical keyhole above the rear license plate frame—just use the key to turn the emergency release. The closing speed of the power liftgate can also be adjusted, which is very user-friendly for those with less strength.
