Tailgate central locking

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Hi John
can you scan that page from your handbook.
Because as far as I know the situation is as folows.
The alarm is controled by the doors, the hood and the tailgate.
The central locking is omly on the doors in teh way that the driversdoor
only has a switch and no motor.

But maybe I am wrong.
If so I am eager tp learn.
Good Cem

That in the handbook refers to the 440/460 models. Tehy just put a different cover on the handbook and different spec sheets at the back.
