Function
Closing
The power-assisted luggage compartment
lid is operated by an electro-hydraulic
mechanism. Hydraulic fluid is pumped
through the hydraulic lines by an
electric pump.
The Rear Lid Lock Button (in Luggage
Compartment) E406 in the luggage
compartment lid is used to close the lid.
Safety Features
The power-assisted closing system has a
pinch protection feature. If the Rear Lid
Hydraulic Motor V241 perceives resistance
which exceeds a defined level, power-
assisted closure is not merely stopped but
reversed a little in order to release the
jammed object.
The routing of hydraulic fluid to the piston
crown sides or piston rod sides of the
hydraulic cylinders facilitates the opening or
closing of the luggage compartment lid
with a driving shaft at each hinge.
The pump is located on the right side of the
luggage compartment.
A similar feature is employed during
opening. For example, if the luggage
compartment lid hits a low garage ceiling,
the Rear Lid Hydraulic Motor V241 stops
for a moment. The lid remains in this
stopped position without reversing. At this
point, actuation is required to close the lid
or to continue the opening cycle after the
obstacle has been cleared.
Opening
To open the luggage compartment lid,
operate either the switch in the door panel,
the microswitch in the VW emblem on the
luggage compartment lid, or the radio
remote control.
