Where is the trunk switch button located on a Chevrolet?

Chevrolet models have different trunk opening mechanisms for high-end and low-end models. Here is an introduction to the trunk opening methods for both types of models: 1. For high-end models, the trunk opening switch is located below the handle on the driver's door and is a button. 2. For low-end models, the trunk must be opened using the key or a button next to the fuel tank cap handle under the driver's seat. The location of the trunk switch varies depending on the model. Taking the Chevrolet Cruze as an example, there is no interior trunk switch in the Chevrolet Cruze. The trunk can only be opened manually by pressing the switch at the back of the trunk or by using the remote control. Press and hold the remote to open the trunk. In the Cruze Classic, the trunk switch is located below the air conditioning fan speed button. For older Cruze models, after unlocking the central lock, there is a switch next to the license plate light at the back of the trunk. Additional information: An electric tailgate, or electric trunk, refers to a trunk that can be opened or closed using an electric or remote control method. To open the trunk, simply press the button inside the car or use 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.
I've always driven Chevrolet models, and the location of the trunk release button varies by model. In my 2019 Cruze, the button is on the dashboard to the lower left of the steering wheel, marked with a small car trunk icon—pressing it unlocks the trunk. Newer models like the Malibu XL may have the button in the infotainment screen menu or on the door panel controls, designed for easier access. Older models like the Spark have the button on the inner side of the door, which can be easily overlooked. I’ve also seen a friend’s car with the button near the center console, so I recommend familiarizing yourself with its location as soon as you get in the car to avoid delays in emergencies. Chevrolet designs these buttons with user-friendliness in mind, but always ensure the car is completely stopped before operating them for safety.
