Lockable Storage Compartments And Ski Hatch (Optional)
Lockable storage compartments and lockable ski hatch are discontinued as an option from and incl. structure week 200946 (USA and Canada) and 201020 (other markets).
Lockable storage compartments and ski hatch are available as options. When the vehicle is locked, so are the storage compartments and ski hatch. The storage compartments and ski hatch are each locked with an electric motor. The electric motors for the lockable storage compartments are located one in each door. The electric motor for the lockable ski hatch is located in the backseat's backrest. The motors are connected in parallel and are activated when one of the connections on Convertible Roof Module (CRM) is supplied with voltage. To change locking for unlocking, the polarity is reversed on the output connections in the control module. These electric motors cannot be diagnosed and the driver is not given any indication if any one of these electric motors is faulty.
