How to Open the Trunk When the Key is Locked Inside a Cruze?
2 Answers
If the key is locked inside the trunk of a Cruze, you can use the spare key to unlock it. If there is no spare key, you need to contact a professional locksmith company to unlock it. Do not attempt to pry it open yourself.
I’ve encountered this situation once before. I drove my Cruze to the supermarket, and after shopping, I accidentally locked the keys in the trunk. I was really panicked at the time. My first thought was to look for a spare key, but all the keys were inside the car, so I had to try accessing the trunk from the rear seats. The Cruze’s rear seats support a 40:60 split-folding feature, so I pushed down the right-side seatback and managed to reach into the trunk to retrieve the keys. If the rear seats are locked and can’t be adjusted directly, I’d recommend checking the car manual or calling the dealership for assistance—never try to force the lock open, as it might damage the locking mechanism. Nowadays, I make it a habit to keep a spare key at home or with a trusted friend to avoid similar situations. If this happens to you, stay calm and patient—most cars have some kind of emergency access design. The Cruze is a common model where owners often discuss such issues in community forums, so taking preventive measures can save a lot of hassle.
