Function of central locking system
Central locking system allows simultaneous opening and closing of all vehicle doors, including fuel filler cap and tailgate. The locks include actuators for locking and unlocking, as well as a door contact switch for anti-theft alarm. The locking status is indicated visually by a pin in the door trim.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, "comfort access" is also possible, which unlocks the vehicle as soon as it detects the key and a finger is on the door handle. Newer models additionally allow unlocking with smartphone or chip card via NFC technology.
