Last time my friend drove my 2013 Buick Excelle to pick up the kids, a child accidentally touched the lock lever while getting their backpack from the trunk. It was such a panic! The emergency trunk release on this model is hidden in a particularly tricky spot—you have to crawl inside the trunk and lie on your back to find it. Located directly above the tailgate lock on the interior trim panel, there’s a small plastic cover slightly larger than a coin in the upper left corner. Prying it open with a key tip reveals a metal pull rod. That time, it took us over 20 minutes to locate it. Later, I simply marked the edge of the cover with red nail polish as a reminder. A word of caution: never force the plastic cover open, as it may break. If you can’t find it, just call GM’s emergency assistance number.
