•  Installed to the liftgate.

•  The liftgate latch and lock actuator activates locking/unlocking of the latch lever.

•  If the liftgate cannot be opened for reasons such as a dead battery or a malfunction in the electrical system, the liftgate can be opened using the liftgate release lever which can release the liftgate latch manually.

•  The unlock signal is sent from the BCM to the liftgate lock actuator, and the liftgate lock actuator frees (unlocked condition) the liftgate. At the same time, the liftgate lifts away via the spring force of the liftgate weatherstrip and stopper rubber to release the latch.

Note

•  After the latch is released, the liftgate latch is freed (unlock operation) after approx. 1.5 s.
