Methods to open the trunk of a Chevrolet car: 1. The opening switch is located below the handle of the driver's door—press it to open; 2. Some models require using the key or lifting the lever under the driver's seat; 3. For some models without an internal trunk release switch in the cabin, you can use the trunk button on the key—press and hold the trunk unlock button to release the trunk. Taking the Chevrolet Cruze as an example: Its exterior follows the family-style large grille, with angular headlights on the full front end appearing very bold. The strongly lined engine hood, combined with the integrated bumper and slightly exaggerated design, looks passionate and youthful. The Cruze is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, 6-speed automatic transmission, or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving a Chevrolet Cruze for five years, and the most common way to open the trunk is by using the button on the car key. There's a rectangular icon on the key; pressing it automatically pops the trunk open, which is super convenient. If the key is nearby, you can simply walk to the rear of the car and press the hidden sensor button beneath the Chevrolet logo in the middle of the trunk lid. If you're sitting in the driver's seat and want to open it, reach over to the left side of the steering wheel near the door, feel for the button with a trunk icon, and press it. By the way, newer models like the Equinox even allow you to open the trunk by swiping your foot under the rear bumper—it's a kick-sensor feature. Just remember, the mechanical key is always the most reliable backup option; if the remote fails, look for the small keyhole on the right side of the trunk lid.

As someone who frequently helps friends with car-related tasks, I've noticed that the trunk opening methods vary across different Chevrolet models. For example, the older Sail requires pulling the lever under the steering wheel inside the car, while the newer Malibu can be operated directly via the center console screen. Here's a key point about smart keys: first ensure the key is within sensing range, then lightly press the middle of the trunk lid to open it. Higher-end models even allow you to set the opening height. Another trick is to hold the unlock button on the key for three seconds - this will open the trunk along with unlocking all doors. In special situations like a power failure, remember to look for the emergency trunk release handle. I recommend checking the owner's manual, as operational details differ between model years.

Just helped my neighbor solve his Chevrolet trunk issue the other day. There are three basic methods: First, use the dedicated trunk button on the key fob—just press it. Second, while seated in the driver's seat, there's usually a button with a trunk icon on the driver's door panel. Third, some models have a hidden button beneath the Chevrolet logo at the rear of the vehicle. Bonus tip: If the trunk is frozen shut in winter, don’t force it—use a hairdryer to melt the ice first. It’s best to replace the key fob battery annually, as a dead battery can cause malfunctions. The mechanical keyhole is often located near the license plate light in a small slot.
