Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2302559A] An arrangement and method for remotely unlocking and raising a closure member such as the hatchback (12) of a motor vehicle (10) is described. Firstly, a signal (24) is sent to unlock and unlatch the vehicle hatchback (12). The unlatched hatchback (12) is automatically raised by an initial amount sufficient to allow gas springs (18) to continue the raising operation. The gas springs (18) may incorporate a device to prevent the hatchback being fully raised.
