In practice there is no "locked" position 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.

For C70 it is also possible to unlock and open the tailgate using a lock cylinder which is located on the rear seat's left leading edge.

This lock is mechanically directly connected to the cargo compartment's locking mechanism.

The switch on the tailgate/trunk lid and lock motor (3/78) is directly connected to the central electronic module (CEM).
