More Information
Summary:A latch mechanism includes a detent lever attached to a vehicle, and a release lever attached adjacent the detent to move between a pulled position, pushing the detent lever to an unlocked position responsive to activation of a release handle, and a released position, releasing the detent to move to a locked position responsive to deactivation of the release handle. A forkbolt is attached to the vehicle to move between: a first position-engaging the detent, retaining the striker at one location, and latching a compartment closure assembly closed; a second position-disengaging the detent, retaining the striker at another location, and latching the closure assembly in one pop-up position; a third position-reengaging the detent, retaining the striker at yet another location, and latching the closure assembly in another pop-up position; and a fourth position-disengaging the detent and allowing the closure assembly to open.
