Location 

Depending on the design version, the trunk lid/liftgate control drive unit is installed either in the area of the D-pillar on the roof frame or instead on one or both of the pneumatic springs.

IMPORTANT For vehicles with a large and thus comparatively heavy liftgate, two liftgate control drive units are installed instead of the pneumatic springs.

Special design considerations can also lead to two liftgate control drive units being required instead of the pneumatic springs.

Task 

The trunk lid/tailgate control drive unit moves the trunk lid or tailgate.

The following components are integrated in the trunk lid/tailgate control drive unit:

The trunk lid/liftgate control drive unit is actuated by the control unit for the trunk lid/liftgate control.
