How to Open the Trunk of a Chevrolet Sail?

[DelaneyMarie]

Open the driver's door of the Chevrolet Sail, enter the vehicle and locate the trunk release lever on the side of the driver's seat. After finding the trunk release lever on the side of the driver's seat of the Chevrolet Sail, you can pull the lever inside the car to open the trunk. Use the Chevrolet Sail car key to open the trunk from outside the vehicle. Press the trunk release button on the Chevrolet Sail car key to open the trunk.

My own Sail is quite smooth to drive, and the trunk opening method is also very simple. Normally, I just press the trunk button on the car key, and it responds quickly—the lock opens, and I can lift it directly. If you're inside the car, you can find a small lever next to the driver's seat; just pull it gently, and the trunk opens. I drive an older model Sail, and sometimes when the remote is out of battery or the battery gets too cold in winter, the trunk won't open. In that case, I have to insert the key into the trunk lock and twist it, which isn’t too troublesome. I also like to keep tools or miscellaneous items in the trunk, but I recommend not stacking anything too heavy to avoid deforming the lever or making it difficult to close. Regularly applying lubricant to the trunk hinges makes opening and closing smoother and quieter. In short, try a few different methods—there’s always one that suits your current situation.

As a frequent car enthusiast, the Sail's trunk offers multiple opening options. The first choice is the remote key fob, which has a small button—press it and the trunk automatically unlocks. If the key battery dies or there's signal interference, don't worry—just turn to the interior, where there’s usually a plastic handle near your left leg; pulling it will also open the trunk. Older Sail models might have a keyhole on the rear hatch—simply insert and turn the key. If it gets stuck, it’s often due to a loose cable or debris blockage; gently jiggle the trunk lid and try again, or temporarily pry open a small gap with a tool to address it. I recommend checking if the locking mechanism is clean—regular cleaning extends its lifespan and avoids awkward situations during long trips. Though a small feature, a well-maintained trunk makes car use much more hassle-free.

The trunk of the Sail is exceptionally convenient to open. I just press the button on the key, and it responds immediately. If you're inside the car, pulling the lever on the driver's side unlocks it. Sometimes, when it's cold or the remote malfunctions, you can use the keyhole on the trunk to operate it—just insert and twist for a few seconds to get it done. I think it's important to keep the trunk structure smooth; avoid placing heavy objects that might damage it. With normal use, it should last several years without any issues, and the operation is effortless.
