How to open the trunk of the Excelle?

[DeCorbin]

The methods to open the trunk of the Excelle: 1. Press the button on the driver's side door trim to open the trunk; 2. There is an emergency trunk release handle under the central cover behind the rear seats. Open the cover and pull the rope handle inside to open the trunk. The Buick Excelle is a compact sedan under the Buick brand, with body dimensions of 4587mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1463mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. The Buick Excelle is equipped with two engines: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.3T turbocharged engine, with maximum power outputs of 83kw and 120kw, and maximum torque outputs of 141nm and 230nm, respectively.

Last time I drove my friends to the airport in an Excelle, I demonstrated three ways to open the trunk in the parking lot: The most common method is pressing the luggage compartment icon button in the middle of the key fob, which works within five meters; there's also a physical button with a rear emblem in front of the driver's side door storage compartment - just press it when parked; the newer models even have a hidden touch-sensitive button between the rear license plate lights - a light finger tap pops it open. Remember to ensure the trunk is fully closed when temporarily loading luggage - I've seen cases where unlatched catches triggered warning lights. The mechanical keyhole under the rear trim panel proves especially useful during winter freezes.

As a decade-long car owner, I must remind you of two crucial points before opening the trunk: The vehicle must be in Park (P) gear with the handbrake engaged, as opening while moving will trigger the onboard computer to lock it. After opening in rainy weather, always check the drainage channels for leaves – my car's spare tire compartment once flooded due to clogged drain holes. Manually turning the mechanical key counterclockwise 90 degrees is the most reliable method; just last week when my smart key failed, this saved the day by allowing me to retrieve the stroller.

I've studied the Buick specifications: the 2015 model has physical buttons below the left side of the steering wheel, while the 2018 facelift integrates them into the door control panel. Remote trunk opening comes standard across all trims - holding the key fob button unlocks only the trunk without disengaging all door locks. Higher trims feature electric struts, but be careful not to force it open manually. In case of electric failure, there's an emergency mechanical cable release above the license plate frame.

Don't panic if it won't open, first check if there's a trunk open warning light on the dashboard. Common issues include accidental activation of the child lock (switch located inside the trunk) or depleted remote battery (replace with CR2032 coin cell). Last time when I was moving furniture, the smart key signal got blocked - holding both the key and door unlock button for 10 seconds reset it. As a last resort, use the mechanical key to manually turn the lock cylinder.

Here's a cool tip: Stand 1 meter away from the rear of the car with the key, simultaneously press and hold the unlock and lock buttons on the key fob for three seconds to activate the foot-sensing function on some Excelle models (requires original factory accessory support). When remotely opening, hold the button to make the trunk rise to its maximum opening height. Friends who have installed power tailgates should note that after modification, the original vehicle's opening/closing button will become a height memory adjustment key.
