The rear lid button at the tailgate, inside, can be used to close the opened tailgate. Pressing the tailgate button moves the tailgate in a closing direction.

The junction box electronics (JBE) evaluate the button signal of the rear lid button.

The central locking button signal is detected in the Car Access System (CAS).

When the button for deadlocking is pressed, all doors and the fuel filler flap are locked and centrally deadlocked (Precondition: driver's door is closed). Assuming a tailgate is open the tailgate is closed electrically.

The following graphic shows the tailgate pushbutton at the inside of the tailgate with a tailgate button for closing a large tailgate and a tailgate button for opening a tailgate further (large tailgate cannot be opened fully) using the example of F07.

The large open tailgate can be closed using the tailgate button for closing the tailgate. Pressing the tailgate button moves the large tailgate in a closing direction. The junction box electronics (JBE) evaluates the button signal of the tailgate button for closing the tailgate.

The Central Information Display (CID) enables the opening height of the large tailgate to be adjusted. The incompletely opened large tailgate can only be opened further using the inside tailgate button: "Open tailgate further". The HKL control unit (HKL stands for "automatic luggage compartment lid actuation") evaluates the button signal of the tailgate button for opening the tailgate further.
