Closing the trunk

Gently pressing the trunk into the trunk lock triggers the automatic soft-close drive.

A microswitch in the trunk lock is activated by the locking pawl being located in the prelocking position. The drive electronics for automatic soft-close assess the change in status as a starting signal.

The drive then pulls the rotary striker closed via a Bowden cable. As soon as the locking pawl engages in the main locking position, the automatic soft-close drive is stopped.

NOTE: The automatic soft-close drive serves to ensure that the trunk closes both safely and securely.
