Vehicle Key / Remote Transmitter
The vehicle key operates the ignition and the door lock, the remote transmitter operates the central locking and alarm systems.

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.

The remote control transmitter for the radio frequency system will operate without the transmitter being directed at the vehicle.
