CENTRAL LOCKING COMPONENT OVERVIEW

Note. Central locking functions electronically. Actuators in doors are integrated in the door lock and have 2 motors. Actuators cannot be replaced separately. The first motor locks the door and the second motor locks the interior door mechanism (Safe function). Now, doors also can no longer be opened from the interior. After an accident in which the airbag deploys, the central locking system control module opens any doors which were locked. Central locking control module is located in right rear side panel.
