How it works
If the CSC roof is opened or closed, the boot lid needs
to be swung to the rear.
To make this possible, the hydraulic cylinder unlocks
the mounting frame from the body using latches (a+b)
and locks it to the boot lid with latch (c).
The boot lid can now be swung towards the rear by
the hydraulic cylinder in the boot lid hinge.
Once the roof operation has been completed, the
hydraulic cylinder locks the mounting frame again to
the body using latches (a+b) and unlocks latch (c) on
the boot lid.
The boot lid can now be opened again normally.
During roof operation, the boot lid cannot be opened.
When the roof is not being opened or closed, the
boot lid can be opened normally, for example, to stow
away luggage. The boot opens and closes manually
— closing is supported by a power latching system.
