Automatic Trunk Lid: Notes

The "Power Tailgate" option is offered in the F10 as part of the ZCV Convenience Package, which also includes Comfort Access keyless entry and Soft-close automatic doors.

The automatic operation of the trunk lid improves vehicle access by enabling the luggage compartment lid to be opened or closed automatically at the press of a button. A spindle-driven system is used in the F10 for automatic opening or closing of the luggage compartment lid.

With Comfort Access, it is even possible to open the luggage compartment lid while the vehicle is locked.

Pressing the outer trunk lid button opens the luggage compartment lid automatically. The only requirement is that a vehicle-specific ID transmitter must be present in the immediate vicinity of the rear end of the vehicle. The trunk lid can also be opened by pressing the button on the ID transmitter.

An open luggage compartment lid can be closed by pressing the "close trunk lid" button.
