BMW 7 Series: Introduction

Features of the Automatic Luggage Compartment Lid Actuating System

The automatic luggage compartment lid actuating system will be available on the F01 as from its launch in 09/08. It will be available to order as an option and only concerns the luggage compartment lid.

Automatic luggage compartment lid operation improves vehicle access in that the luggage compartment lid is opened or closed automatically at the press of a button.

A spindle-driven system is fitted in the F01 for the first time to actuate automatic opening or closing of the luggage compartment lid.

The automatic luggage compartment lid actuating system makes it possible to open and close the luggage compartment lid automatically at the push of a button.

If the vehicle is equipped with Comfort Access, it is even possible to open the luggage compartment lid while the vehicle is locked.

The luggage compartment lid can open automatically when the exterior luggage compartment lid button is pressed. The only requirement being that a vehicle-specific ID transmitter must be present in the immediate vicinity of the rear end of the vehicle.

In connection with Comfort Access, it is now also possible to centrally lock the vehicle doors from the luggage compartment lid. The "central double-lock" button used for this purpose is located in the luggage compartment lid next to the button for automatically closing the luggage compartment lid.
