Rear Compartment Lid Release
The rear compartment lid release system includes the following main
components:
| • | The rear compartment lid latch assembly. This assembly includes
an electrically-controlled release actuator and a release cable. |
| • | The rear compartment lid latch striker. |
| • | A rear compartment lid release button. For Oldsmobile, this button
is mounted on the instrument panel, to the right of the steering column.
For Buick, this button is located below the driver's door handle. |
| • | A valet switch (remote trunk release lockout switch). This switch
is located in the instrument panel compartment (glovebox). |
| • | The keyless entry transmitter. |
Pressing the rear compartment lid release button opens the rear compartment
provided that the following conditions are both true:
| • | The gear shift lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL. |
| • | The valet switch is in the ON position. |
Pressing rear compartment lid release button on the keyless entry transmitter
opens the rear compartment provided that one of the following is true:
| • | The ignition switch is OFF. |
| • | The ignition switch is in RUN and the gear shift lever is set

The valet switch disables the rear compartment lid release button. Lid
release operation using the keyless entry transmitter is not affected. (The
keyless entry transmitter opens the rear compartment even if the valet switch
is active.)
