The boot lid/tailgate release makes it possible to unlock the boot lid/tailgate electrically.
The tailgate/boot lid is released via an electric drive with integrated return spring.
The drive is activated by means of the general module V of the central body electronics.
The boot lid/tailgate can be unlocked:
In addition, the rear lid/tailgate can be opened mechanically with the vehicle key via the lock in the boot lid/tailgate.
Note:Remote control functions are executed only if there is no key inserted in the ignition lock.
The boot lid is not released electrically when the convertible top compartment lid is open so as to avoid both lids colliding and the resulting damage. The mechanical release by means of the boot lid lock (emergency operation) is, however, still possible.
The opening function of the boot lid/tailgate can be disabled by means of the lock barrel in the glovebox. When the glovebox lock is set in horizontal position with the vehicle key, the boot lid/tailgate can no longer be released by means of the boot lid/tailgate button.
It is still possible to open the boot lid/tailgate with the remote control.
