3315622 - E3045 BOOT AND FUEL FLAP OPENING - Functional description (Right hand drive)

Functional description

The boot opening function can be activated:

  • by the boot central locking switch H33 , located in the glove compartment;
  • using the key in the rear lock (boot opening switch H71 );
  • by the remote control receiver M35 .
When the vehicle is stationary, if the button H33 is pressed it energizes the boot opening relay J56 ; The enablement signal comes from pin 9 of connector B of the instrument panel E50 , whose internal software enables this function when the speedometer signal - coming from the ABS control unit - is less than 2 km/h. The boot opening switch H71 energizes the relay J56 without any enablement. The remtoe control receiver M35 , when activated, energizes the coil for the relay J56 supplying an earth signal and thereby allowing the opening of the boot. The relay J56 is supplied directly from the battery, through the fuse line B62 , and controls the boot lock motor N57 . Fuel flap opening is controlled by the specific switch located among the controls on the tunnel H36 . When the engine is not running, the button of H36 - when pressed - energizes the fuel flap opening relay J57 : the enablement signal arrives from terminal D+ of the alternator A10 : it is the same signal which lights up the recharging warning light in the instrument panel (  See E5010  STARTING AND RECHARING ). The relay J57 is supplied directly from the battery, through the fuse line B61 , and it controls the fuel flap locking motor N58 .
