How to Open the Trunk of a Chevrolet?
2 Answers
High-end and low-end Chevrolet models have different trunk opening mechanisms. For high-end models, the trunk release button is located under the handle of the driver's door—simply press the button to open it. Low-end models do not have this feature and require using the key or a lever located under the driver's seat, which is combined with the fuel tank cap release. More details about Chevrolet are as follows: 1. Chevrolet is an automobile brand under General Motors (GM), founded on November 3, 1911, by William C. Durant and Louis Chevrolet. 2. Chevrolet is also known as Chevy. It was acquired by General Motors in 1918 and is now one of GM's most international and popular brands. 3. The Chevrolet logo features a stylized bowtie, with 'Chevrolet' derived from the name of Swiss race car driver and engineer Louis Chevrolet. It symbolizes the elegance, grandeur, and sophistication of Chevrolet vehicles.
As a frequent Chevrolet driver, opening the trunk is simple and versatile. Usually, I press the trunk button on the remote key fob—one click and it opens. When inside the car, there’s a small switch on the driver’s door panel; pressing it pops the trunk. If the key fob runs out of battery, no worries—there’s a mechanical keyhole on the trunk lid. Just insert the physical key that comes with the car and twist. My car is an older model without a kick sensor, but newer Chevrolets like the Malibu have this feature, allowing the trunk to open automatically with a foot motion behind the car. If the trunk won’t open, I first check the remote key fob’s battery or if the interior button is loose. I make it a habit to inspect these small details to avoid issues when loading luggage. Button placements vary by model—the Cruze has a trunk button on the center console, while Buick integrates it into the key fob. A safety tip: avoid forcing the trunk open, as it can damage the latch. Most issues can be resolved with timely battery replacement or basic maintenance.
