Abstract

The method involves using at least one switch (6) inside the motor vehicle, a radio key (8) and/or a switch (7) in the flap (2) region. Before opening and/or closing the flap a device (15) detects whether the trailer coupling (9) is occupied. If the coupling is occupied remote operation from within the vehicle is inhibited. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: (a) an arrangement for remote opening and closing of a rear flap of a motor vehicle.
