Chevrolet high-end models have the trunk unlock button under the driver's door handle. For base models, the trunk needs to be opened with a key. Different models have different trunk switch locations. Below is an introduction to opening the trunk for two types of models: Introduction to trunk unlocking for different Chevrolet models: Chevrolet models are divided into high-end and base models for trunk opening. High-end models have a trunk opening button under the driver's door handle. Base models require a key to open the trunk or have a button next to the fuel tank cover handle under the driver's seat. Car electric tailgate: The car electric tailgate, also known as the electric trunk, refers to the trunk being opened or closed electrically or via remote control. To open the trunk, simply press the button inside the car or on the remote key, and the trunk will open automatically. To close the trunk, press the close button inside the trunk or inside the car, or use the remote key, and the trunk will close automatically.

When I used to drive a Chevrolet, the trunk unlock button was most commonly found on the key fob. The remote key has a small icon button, which is easy to recognize at a glance. Inside the car, there are also places like the driver's door or the center console where some buttons are labeled with the word "Trunk" or an unlock symbol. The location varies by model—for example, the Malibu might have it near the steering wheel, while the Equinox has a hidden button under the trunk lid. If you just bought the car and can't figure it out, check the key section of the user manual, which details the function of each button. If you still can't find it, there might be an electrical issue, so try using the key to manually unlock the trunk in the meantime—don't let it delay loading or unloading your luggage. It's helpful to familiarize yourself with the button locations in your car to avoid fumbling in emergencies—this feature is too useful to overlook.

As an experienced driver, I've handled many Chevrolet cases where the trunk unlock button location varies by model. It's usually on the key fob - just press the Trunk icon to open. Inside the car, some models place it near the door panel unlock area or have a button below the instrument panel. Pre-2010 models might be simpler with just a key button, but newer vehicles like the Bolt add touchscreen control options. When checking, first test the key fob function. If unresponsive, try interior buttons as many Chevrolets feature dual unlocking methods. Electronic failures are rare, but occasional moisture may cause short circuits - keep the button area clean to prevent malfunction. Don't overlook these small details in routine maintenance; pick a sunny day to thoroughly check all your car's buttons.

As a new car owner, I was initially confused about where the trunk unlock button was on my Chevrolet. Later, I discovered it's mainly in two places: first, on the car key—just press the small trunk icon; second, inside the car, there might be a button labeled 'Open' or 'Trunk' on the left side of the steering wheel or the center console. Don’t worry, just follow these simple steps: first, try pressing the key fob. If there’s no response, check the control area inside the car, or look for a small manual release lever under the trunk lid. The location varies by model, so it’s normal for beginners to forget. You can always download the Chevrolet App for guidance or take photos for reference. After a few tries, it’ll become second nature—just test the button functions before driving.
