The General Module (GM) controls the power windows.
The general module gives the convertible top module the following information through the K-bus:
Auto-remote opening with remote control
Auto-remote opening or closing with the driver's door lock
In addition, the general module also controls the heated rear window (condition: the convertible top is
closed).
7. KOMBI: Instrument cluster
The instrument cluster (KOMBI) provides the signals for "road speed" and "outside temperature".
Both signals are sent to the convertible top module via the general module on the K-bus.
The following actuators are controlled on the electrohydraulic convertible top:
8. Convertible top drive: electric motor and hydraulic pump
There is a hydraulic cylinder on each of the left and right-hand main pillars.
An electric motor with hydraulic pump drives the convertible top via the two cylinders.
The direction of movement of the convertible top (open or close) is controlled by 2 relays. Depending on
the direction of movement, pressure is applied to either the piston side or the connecting rod side of the
hydraulic cylinders (dual effect). This is done by the hydraulic pump being actuated either clockwise or
anticlockwise.
9. Drive for locking mechanism and folding sunroof
The drive for the locking mechanism and the folding sunroof is an electric motor with gearbox. The
electric motor performs the following functions on the convertible top:
Open and close folding sunroof
Lock and unlock catch hook on cowl
These drives are also actuated via 2 relays.
10. Drive for stowage lock left and drive for stowage lock right >from 09/2005
The two drives each move the catch via a Bowden cable. The catch locks the roof pillar when the
convertible top is open. The convertible top module actuates the two drives via a common relay.
