Unlocking Trunk Lid/Tailgate

In practice there is no "locked" mode for the lock on the tailgate/trunk lid. The difference between locked and unlocked is whether the central electronic module (CEM) will activate the lock motor or not when the switch on the tailgate/trunk lid is pressed.

The tailgate/trunk lid is "locked" and "unlocked" at the same time as other doors if an unlock command is received from the remote control. The tailgate/trunk lid can also be unlocked separately using a dedicated button on the remote control.

The switch on the tailgate/trunk lid and the lock motor are directly connected to the central electronic module (CEM).
