Where is the trunk release button on a Chevrolet sedan?
2 Answers
Chevrolet models have different trunk release mechanisms for high-end and low-end variants. For high-end models, the trunk release button is located beneath the door handle on the driver's side door. For low-end models, the trunk can be opened using the key or via a button located next to the fuel tank cover release handle under the driver's seat. Below is some brand information: 1. Chevrolet is an automobile brand under General Motors (GM), founded on November 3, 1911, by William C. Durant and Louis Chevrolet. 2. Chevrolet, also known as Chevy, was acquired by General Motors in 1918 and is now one of GM's most international and popular brands. The Chevrolet logo features a stylized bowtie, and the name Chevrolet comes from Louis Chevrolet, a Swiss race car driver and engineer. It symbolizes the elegance, grandeur, and style of Chevrolet vehicles. 3. Main sedan models: Cruze, Malibu XL, Orlando, Onix, and Cavalier.
I have years of experience in Chevrolet sedan maintenance, and the location of the trunk button varies significantly depending on the model. Generally, for older models like the Malibu, the button is on the inner door panel on the driver's left side, marked with a prominent trunk icon. For newer models such as the Equinox, it might be relocated to the lower left corner of the steering wheel on the dashboard or next to the gear shift. The remote key also has a dedicated button for opening the trunk with a single press. Some high-end models like the Equinox even feature a small button above the rear license plate for direct access. If the button malfunctions, it could be due to a blown fuse or aging wiring—first, check the fuse box or battery charge. For safety, regularly clean dust around the button to prevent water damage during rainy seasons, and cultivating good inspection habits can prevent unexpected issues.
