Power-Assisted Luggage
Compartment Lid
The Phaeton is also available with a
system allowing the driver to open and
close the luggage compartment lid from
inside the vehicle.
Power-assisted closure is not only a
convenience but is also an enhancement
of the entire locking system.
Retractable rear lock with closing aid
The luggage compartment lock is retracted
when the lid is opened, reducing the risk of
injury. The retraction of the lock also
prevents the soiling of clothing by contact
with any oil or grease that may be present
in the lock.
When the luggage compartment lid is
closing, the lock emerges from the lid into
locking position during the final third of the
closing cycle. Then the lock pulls the lid
down the rest of the way and locks it.
