REAR COMPARTMENT LID VACUUM
UNLOCKING SYSTEM-
Styles Equipped with Option
The rear compartment lid vacuum lock system is a
side-action snap-bolt type lock with a vacuum re-
lease unit attached that unlocks the lock upon the
introduction of vacuum in the unit. The vacuum is
stored in a storage tank located on the shroud panel
and is controlled by a switch located in the instru-
ment panel compartment box. By actuating the
switch, vacuum enters into the line extending from
the storage tank to the vacuum release unit, thereby
unlocking the lid lock. As this is only an unlocking
feature, the rear compartment lid must be closed
manually.
