Where is the trunk switch for the 2009 Cruze?

The trunk switch for the 2009 Cruze is located below the air conditioning fan speed adjustment button, specifically under the usual temperature control knob. There is a button there—press it to open the trunk. Here’s an introduction to the Cruze: 1. Space: With a 1.75-meter-tall driver maintaining a normal seating position, the rear legroom still offers a generous two fists of space. The central floor hump in the rear is not excessive, and aside from the lack of a center headrest, there’s little to criticize. 2. Powertrain: Both the Cruze and Cavalier offer a 1.5L naturally aspirated version, but the Cruze also provides a 1.4T engine option, while the Cavalier offers a 1.0T engine. Additionally, the Cruze’s 1.4T engine is paired with GM’s in-house 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 1.5L engine comes with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission for consumers to choose from. The Cavalier’s 1.5L naturally aspirated engine is matched with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission, and its 1.0T turbocharged engine is paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving a 2009 Cruze for several years. The trunk release is mainly on the remote key - it's the button with the car rear opening icon. Just press and hold for about 2 seconds, and the trunk will pop open slightly, then you can lift it manually. I usually prefer using the key as it's super convenient. Alternatively, you can open it from the driver's seat - press the unlock button on the driver's door panel (the unlock button among the window control buttons), then manually lift the trunk lid after the whole car is unlocked. For base models without the key button, this is the only way. If the key battery dies, remember the mechanical key only opens doors - you'll need to operate from inside the car, never force the trunk lid open.

Having repaired Chevrolet vehicles for ten years, I can tell you that the trunk switch for the 2009 Cruze is most commonly found in two places. First, on the car key—look for the trunk icon button and hold it down for two to three seconds. Second, on the inner side of the driver's door, next to the central locking button; pressing the unlock-all button will release the trunk lock. There's no external button on the trunk lid itself, so don't waste time looking there. Important reminder: If the key doesn't respond after a long press, it's either due to a dead key battery or a stuck trunk lock motor. Also, never leave the key in the trunk—this car doesn't have an automatic anti-lockout feature, and once closed, it won't open again.

Hey Cruze owners, listen up! The trunk switch is super easy: There's a button with a car rear liftgate icon on your key fob—just hold it down until you hear the trunk click, then release. If you forget your keys or the battery's dead, hop in the car and press the central lock/unlock button on the driver's door panel (that little lock-icon button next to the window switches). Once unlocked, just head to the rear and open the trunk manually. Remember, the trunk won’t open when the car is locked, so unlock first. Oh, and if your luggage is stacked too high and blocks the trunk lid, it won’t latch—just adjust the items and you’re good to go!
