Where is the trunk switch of the Chevrolet Cavalier?

The trunk switch of the Chevrolet Cavalier is located inside the left door, and it can also be opened using the trunk release button on the remote key. Taking the 2020 Chevrolet Cavalier as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4474mm, width 1730mm, height 1471mm, and a wheelbase of 2600mm. The fuel tank capacity is 36 liters, and the curb weight is 1030kg. The 2020 Chevrolet Cavalier features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 107ps, a maximum power of 79kw, and a maximum torque of 130nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
When I first drove the Chevy Cavalier, I was also confused about the trunk switch locations. The most obvious one is the rectangular button on the remote key—just press and hold for two seconds to pop it open. When you're in the driver's seat, check below the dashboard on the left side of the steering wheel for a small button with a trunk icon—one press opens it. Higher trim models even have a physical button right under the trunk lid. Once, I tried folding down the rear seats and crawling out to open it manually—don’t copy that dumb move! By the way, the trunk won’t open if the car is locked; you’ll need to unlock the doors first. I recommend flipping through the manual when you get a new car—switch positions may vary by model year.
After driving the Cavalier for three years, I've got the trunk switch figured out. The button with the wavy line on the key fob is the most convenient. While driving, a glance to the left of the steering wheel reveals a small button hidden on the plastic panel. For older models, you can even press the indentation in the middle of the trunk lid directly. Once, when picking up a friend and opening the trunk for them, I noticed the interior button doesn't work when the car is running—a pretty sensible safety feature. My trunk is usually packed with toolboxes, so I prefer using the key fob to open it to avoid scratching the paint, and it keeps my hands dry on rainy days. If you often carry cargo, just remember not to pop the trunk at gas stations.
