Where is the trunk button on the Buick GL8?

The trunk button of the Buick GL8 is located on the back of the key. Press it once to automatically open the trunk. Alternatively, pressing the rightmost button on the sunroof switch inside the car can also open the trunk. Buick is an automobile brand under General Motors, and its main models include the Excelle, Regal, LaCrosse, GL8, Envision, Enclave, and Encore. Taking the Buick GL8 as an example, its body dimensions are 5238mm in length, 1878mm in width, and 1776mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3088mm. The Buick GL8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 174kw, a maximum torque of 350nm, a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 4000 rpm.
I've been driving this GL8 for three years, and the most commonly used location for the trunk button is on the driver's side door panel, near the armrest—the button with the car rear pattern. Press and hold for 2 seconds to automatically open or close the trunk. The remote key also has a trunk button; press it twice to unlock. I remember once when a friend couldn't find it, I reminded him to check near the gear lever on the center console, as some models hide the button there. If a third-row passenger wants to open the trunk, there's a small recessed button inside the tailgate handle, which is especially convenient on rainy days. The GL8's trunk opening is quite large, so it's best to unlock the entire vehicle before loading luggage to avoid triggering the anti-theft alarm.
Last time I drove my best friend's GL8 to drop off the kids at school, I noticed she always fumbled around at the tailgate. Actually, there's a clearly marked button on the driver's door handle - just press and hold for three seconds to open it. The key fob also has a dedicated trunk button that's slightly larger than the main unlock button. There's even a hidden switch above the tailgate handle that you can flip open with a fingernail, which is perfect when your hands are full carrying stuff. Personally, I think the most convenient feature is the mobile app open/close function, though that's only available on higher trim levels. This design is really thoughtful, especially for us moms who need to carry strollers without putting things down.
