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.
