192004551 - E3045 BOOT AND FUEL FLAP OPENING - DESCRIPTION (Station Wagon)

Description

The boot opening geared motor (boot "release") is operated by:

• turning the key in its lock;
• a button on the remote control.

The unlocked boot is opened by means of a handle above the number plateA third key on the remote control releases the boot when it is pressed for longer than 2 seconds: the boot is released and lifts up slightly.The operation is indicated by the turn signals flashing twice.When reclosed, the boot returns to its pre-opening status.The rear window opening gear motor is operated by a handle located beneath the number plate.This operating strategy is managed directly by the Body Computer and is exactly the same as the boot opening strategy.

The dedicated rear window strategy also ensures that:

• the function is not enabled if vehicle speed is higher than 10 km/h;
• rear window opening prevents simultaneous opening of the boot;
• rear wiper operation is inhibited with the rear window open    See E3021 REAR WINDOW WASH/WIPE.

A special setup on the instrument panel can be used to select whether the boot/rear window:

• is controlled by the central locking: i.e. boot status is the same as door status.
• is independent: the boot is locked when the doors are locked, whilst it can be unlocked independently of the unlocking of the doors.

The Body Computer manages this operating strategy directly.The remote control receiver aerial is connected directly to the Body Computer which contains the actual electronics for the receiver..

fuel flap opening is managed by a strategy similar to that of the driver''s door. This function is therefore described under the CENTRAL LOCKING section    See E3040 CENTRAL LOCKING
