* Using the key fob: Your key fob should have a button specifically for unlocking the rear hatch. Press this button.
* Using the interior release lever: Inside the vehicle, usually located on the driver's side near the rear of the vehicle, there's a lever or button that releases the hatch.
* Using the key: If your key fob's battery is dead or the remote isn't working, you should be able to unlock the hatch using the key in the driver's side door lock. There's usually a small cylinder on the liftgate itself where you can insert the key and unlock it manually. (This is less common on newer vehicles, but possible on some 2006 models.)
* Manual Override (check your owner's manual): Some models might have a manual override mechanism, usually located near the hatch latch itself. Consult your owner's manual to see if this is the case with your specific Equinox.
If none of these methods work, there might be a problem with the latch mechanism, wiring, or the key fob itself. You may need to consult a repair manual or take your vehicle to a mechanic.
