Electrical Emergency Release, Front Lid

Information 

• In the event of a flat battery, the release motors of both lids can be supplied with power through the power feed via a battery jump lead. 
• An emergency power contact, colored red for identification, is located on the fuse box in the driver's footwell. 
• This emergency power contact, to which the positive jump lead is connected, can be pulled out of the fuse box by approx. 3 cm. 
• The power supply is switched to the release motors by a change-over relay (mini-relay), located behind the fuse box. 
• If the vehicle is locked (alarm protected), the alarm will sound if the jumper lead is connected. 
• Turn off alarm system by locking and then unlocking the door lock.
