Unlocking The Trunk Lid/Tailgate

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2013 Volvo C70, 2012 Volvo C70, 2011 Volvo C70, 2010 Volvo C70, and 2009 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In practice there is no "locked" mode for the lock on the tailgate/trunk lid. The difference between locked and unlocked is whether the central electronic module (CEM) will activate the lock motor or not when the switch on the tailgate/trunk lid is pressed.

The tailgate/trunk lid is "locked" and "unlocked" at the same time as other doors if an unlock command is received from the remote control. The tailgate/trunk lid can also be unlocked separately using a dedicated button on the remote control.

The switch on the tailgate/trunk lid and the lock motor are directly connected to the central electronic module (CEM).

For the C70 (model year 2006 and early 2007 versions), the following applies:

To access the cargo compartment when, for example, the vehicle has no power, there is a lock cylinder under the CD compartment in the center console, which is mechanically connected to the cargo compartment lock.

For the C70 (late versions 2007-), the following applies:

To access the cargo compartment when, for example, the vehicle has no power, there is a lock cylinder on the left-hand side front edge of the rear seat, which is mechanically connected to the cargo compartment lock.
