Abstract
A body system determines whether or not entrance doors of all seats or entrance doors of rear seats are unlocked. When determination as YES is made, the body system determines whether or not a trunk operate command received by a VCIB from an ADK (ADS) indicates an 'Open/Close Request' for a trunk door. When determination as YES is made, the body system determines whether or not it keeps receiving the “Open/Close Request” for one second. When determination as YES is made, the body system starts an action of the trunk door.
