Door Mounted Components

Central Locking System

Description

The central locking system consists of motor operated lock actuators in both doors, the boot and the fuel flap mechanism. The central locking control module is located inside the drivers side 'A' post.

Each motor driven lock actuator incorporates a microswitch which will signal a change of state when any motor runs to drive the actuator. The microswitches are of the changeover type and provide an earth for the lock or unlock signals to the control unit.

The two door lock inputs to the control unit are connected together so that operation of either door lock with the ignition key will simultaneously operate the other door lock. Similarly, the unlock inputs to the control unit are also connected together for simultaneous operation.

The boot will remain locked or will be unlocked simultaneously with the doors dependant on the boot lock position. With the boot key turned clockwise, the boot lock operates in unison with the doors. With the boot key turned anticlockwise, the boot lock cannot be unlocked using the central locking system.

The boot can be opened at any time using the ignition key irrespective of the central locking status.
