Central Locking System

The Central Locking system consists of lock actuators in both doors, the boot and the fuel flap. Central locking control is through the door modules.

Each lock actuator incorporates a microswitch which signals a change of state when any motor runs to drive the actuator. The microswitches are of the change over type and provide an earth for lock / unlock signals to the door module.

The boot will remain locked or will be unlocked simultaneously with the doors dependant on the boot lock position. The boot lock can be enabled at any time using the remote transmitter irrespective of the Central Locking status.

Remote Transmitter

The remote control system consists of a transmitter and an antenna (radio frequency system). The remote control transmitter for the radio frequency system will operate without the transmitter being directed at the vehicle. The normal range between the transmitter and the antenna is up to 5 meters. Before the remote control system can be used, each transmitter must be initialized to the vehicle. A maximum number of four transmitters can be initialized to any vehicle. All remote transmitters must be initialized at the same time.The keyless entry / remote operated locks will not operate when the ignition key is in the ignition switch.
