LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT DOES NOT OPEN WITH REMOTE CONTROL

The boot lid does not open when the remote control is operated.

The opening command for the boot lid is received by the body computer node; the body computer node unlocks the boot lid lock and releases it gently, disabling the alarm (if fitted).

With the "central locking switched off", the boot lid opens activating the electric handle located on the actual boot lid.

In "indepedent boot" mode, the opening of the boot lid is implemented using the remote control or by means of the mechanical key pawl.
