You can lock / unlock from the mychevrolet phone app. Also if your key fob battery dies it has a key that comes out by pressing a button and pulling the top out. Then on the driver door, underneath the door handle is a hole you insert it in and pull forward it pops the cover off exposing the key hole you use to unlock and open the door. There's different spots where you need to put the fob from different years and models and then you can start the car. Need to look up your car's manual to see where to put it. Fr some you place the fob in the front cup holder and others you have to open the cubby between the front seats and there's a spot to place the fob. Dunno if there's even more spots, but your not stuck just from a dead fob battery you just gotta lookup what to do for your car.
Cruze was cut for the same reason the Volt was cut, The Suspension has issues Service Bulletin #: 16-NA-316, There's a couple more. The engine had issues outside of 2-3.5K RPM range, Turbo was meh The Auto Stop was intrusive, and causes engine wear. Though I disabled it manually on mine, 2018+ had option to disable via button at every startup. I have a 2017LT, and I just used the terminator wiring harness mod for $20 and 5 minutes to install.

@@SkateZillaSimulations jeeezus man lol...all of these issues sound horrible! Hmm, well for me I'm around 44k miles on my 2017 premier RS hatchback and soon gonna need the big 50k mile service.

Can I ask a question When I turn on my heat I notice the A/C button turns on (lit yellow), but the car is blowing heat. If I press the a/c button again it turns green, then again, it turns off. Do I want it on during the winter? Or do I want the yellow light off ?
When I got my Chevy Cruze,,I had no idea where the battery was,,,someone needed a jump and I opened the hood,,and said I don't have one under here,,obviously I new it was somewhere,,had to look in the owners manual,,but very nice feature, guna see if the automatic lock is on mine,,that woukd be cool
Thanks for the video. I just learned I have a chevy bow tie on the hood liner. I've had my 2019 hatch for almost a year and didn't even know it was there.
@@toyoscio Not the fault of the engine it didn't sell good, nor the car for being discontinued. Driving the diesel around, with the low end torque it's amazing how responsive it is.
Bro. Awesome. I have 2 questions. At 2:13, there is a small valve that connects the intake to a hose that goes 2 the engine. I lost mine, where can i get it??? Also the hose that goes to the intake, the part you out the hose on, it broke. I need 2 replace. I might have 2 do a video so u can see
I would go the dealership and go to the parts office and show them a picture. They should be able to get the exact part because the car is newer so it is hard to find parts for it on the internet.
Cool video. I have a 2018 Premier RS 4-door. I working on getting a hatchback now for my son. You also could of mentioned the headlights have the Chevy bow tie emblem on them too, super cool.
It's too bad Chevy killed off the cruze... The second gen cruze had so many improvements over the first and the lines on the hatchback was super sporty .
I can't agree more. It's actually one of the best cars Chevy made in the last 20 years and better than the competition IMO. The amount of room, the quality for the price point, the gas mileage, the functionality of everything...all top notch. Got over 83k miles on my hatchback and I absolutely LOVE it. I bought a special blanket to cover the whole backside of the interior with the back seats folded down and the amount of stuff I can put in that little thing is crazy. It's also the most comfortable and safest car I've ever driven in my life and I've been driving cars for 25 years.
Hey bro great vid, just got today a 2018 4door LT chevy cruze, and yes the battery is in the rear as well, sedan a very cool car, didn't have fogs but want to get some, take care, also a shock, there no transmission dip stick, w t f, lol
I just find the lock future today but need one more step you don’t say you need to turn on that future and same setting you say but need to go to last one call passive door lock and turn on and another benefit to have battery in the back is battery life because they no have to deal to the heat to the engine the only think I hate is the auto start I wish they can make switch to turn off
The auto stop/start featured can sort-of be disabled by putting the gear selector in "L". Then, use the +/- button on top of the lever to put it in "L6" (the gear readout is in the LCD display within the gauge cluster). You can then drive the Cruze normally...without it stopping and starting every time you stop/go. Of course, the 2019 gained a switch that can turn it on and off without having to do the "L6" trick. I still say Chevy needs to retrofit all 2016-2018 Cruzes with that switch!
Hello I just bought a 2018 Cruze sedan. The only way I figured out how to do the navigation is by using a USB CABLE. I had to have Android auto installed then it worked. Not sure how if you have a Apple. Good luck.
The 2019 Cruze got an upgraded Chevy Infotainment 3 system; it's an upgrade over the older Chevy MyLink system used in the 2016-2018 models. It's so improved, I guess, they changed the name along with the GUI. :D
In my 2018 Cruze LT Sedan the battery is in the front. But in my old 2008 Cobalt LT Sedan it was in the back..I really liked that feature because it kept the battery clean.
Walk away feature dose not work with my cruze. You lied OR did NOT research enough to let us know that is true. I followed the steps you prescribed and my car stays plain as it was the time drove it. . . . . Explanation?
Any other hidden features for the Cruze?
First year you can disable auto-start on the cruze, pervious owners had to get a tune kit for this feature
Just FYI, it isn't automatic, it is just on a time delay if you set it that way. There is no option for it to lock when you are so many feet away.
You can lock / unlock from the mychevrolet phone app.

My 2019 cruse hatchback beeps at me when I’m putting air in my tires to let me know I’m at 35 psi. Found that pretty cool
The coolest hidden feature is when u hit the gas pedal and the throttle Doesn’t work and nearly kills you
Just got my Cruze a week ago and keep discovering features I never knew about. Love this car!
Battery in trunk makes it super easy to power a sub amp - you don’t have to run a wire to the front of the car
That is a HUGE plus!
Thanks. And now I know what I'm going to do next in my car
Yep! Sedans have the battery in the back! 💗 thank you for this I love the auto lock feature
I love the Chevy Cruze I just wish they'd never discontinued it
Me too!

There is also a Chevy symbol in the tale lights . Fun car to drive I enjoy mine
Also on the headlights too
Thinking of getting a 2018. Anything I need to look out for? Also are you still liking yours?
I have a 2016 sedan and the battery is in the rear as well. Its a unique car
Just got a 2017. Really didn't know these cars were a little hidden gem.
Can I ask a question
When I turn on my heat I notice the A/C button turns on (lit yellow), but the car is blowing heat. If I press the a/c button again it turns green, then again, it turns off. Do I want it on during the winter? Or do I want the yellow light off ?
Green light means "eco AC" suppose to go into auto stop more to save gas. Yellow light is normal AC and wont go into auto stop as much
Just bought a 2019 with 7k miles. Thanks for the info.
No problem! congratulations on the car!!

I have 2017 Chevy Cruze LS 6 speed manual and the battery is in the trunk/back of my car so amazing
I love my 2017 it's fuckin smooth.

When i realized I couldn't believe it lol
I just stumbled to your clip and saw the auto lock feature. I followed your instruction but it didn’t work. Does anyone know what happened?
Me neither! Did you figure it out?
Swapped out the headlights and interior lights with leds. Looks way better
Coolest thing about the Cruze, you can get it with a diesel and get better fuel economy than any other car sold in the last few years!
Not really, since the diesel was not a big seller and the car is now discontinued.
@@toyoscio Not the fault of the engine it didn't sell good, nor the car for being discontinued. Driving the diesel around, with the low end torque it's amazing how responsive it is.

The centre arm rest slides forward and back also!!!! 👍
The second hanger is for the non rs like mine (lt) where the Giant ass suitcase of a muffler hangs
I didn't know but there is a button for the trunk that's kinda hidden that I didn't know about either,,
2018 hatch lt , i never looked if the battery is in the back😅 but I shall look tomorrow morning!
It's a really cool feature!!

Yep the battery is also the same way in the sedan
Question? Do you know if the Cruze has a break?
Just got and 18 turbo battery is in the trunck next in a flush mount position on the boday

Yes the sedan has the battery in the back also. I have 2018 Cruze Premier RS
Awesome, thank you for letting me know!
Remove the rear headrest, looks better, easier to see. I own 19' hatchback RS silver
Chevy Cruze for the sedan also has battery in the back

@@PoweredByLS2 I bought OEM fog lights, took them and the car to the dealer, paid a couple hundred dollars and drove away with them installed.

Yea the battery is in the truck on the sedans too

There is no navigation in the instrument cluster. It simply tells if your heading NSEW That’s what huge screen is for you know usb smart phone
I don't think our definition of cool is the same.
What muffler do u have?
is this cruze a 1.4 turbo as well?
Yes it is

Is this the premier or the LT.
