Where is the trunk release switch on the Buick Regal?
2 Answers
There are three trunk release switches on the Buick Regal: 1. On the left front door, look up from the bottom to find a luggage compartment release button on the interior trim panel; 2. The central door lock on the left front door also serves as the trunk switch. Press and hold the unlock button on the left front door's central door lock for more than 3 seconds to open the trunk; 3. Pull down the decorative panel behind the central armrest of the rear seat to find an emergency exit handle. Pulling it firmly can also open the trunk. In terms of body dimensions, the Buick Regal measures 4902mm in length, 1863mm in width, and 1456mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2829mm.
On my Buick Regal, I frequently use the trunk release, which is primarily located on the driver's door panel, near the window control buttons. There's usually a small button labeled 'Truck' or featuring a trunk icon. Pressing it is super convenient, especially when you're carrying items and don't want to exit the car. Additionally, the key fob has a button—press it twice, and the trunk pops open automatically, which is incredibly handy. Some newer Regal models might even include an external trunk release button hidden beneath the license plate, easily activated with a touch. If you can't locate these controls, I'd recommend checking the vehicle manual or having someone inspect for potential switch malfunctions, as dust buildup can occasionally slow the button's response. While driving, I prefer using the door panel switch—it's both safe and effortless, eliminating the need to fumble with the key fob. Overall, Buick’s placement of this feature is ergonomic, right within easy reach.
