How to open the trunk of a Chevrolet Cruze that remains locked

Model: Chevrolet Cruze MK 1, J300 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we can see how to open the trunk of a Chevrolet Cruze that remains stuck, both in the case it remains stuck open, and in the case it remains stuck closed. Let's see the first scenario: in this case we will need a flathead screwdriver and a hook like the one we see in the video. While turning right and left, pull downwards to unlock the latch. If instead it remains stuck while closed, then it is relatively simple: we will have to enter the vehicle from the rear, fold down the seats and enter the trunk, illuminating it with a flashlight. On the left of the latch, we will find a knob that, illuminated by the flashlight itself, will become visible. Just pull it and the trunk will open.
