(Central Locking and Anti-Theft
Each rear door is equipped with the child lock-out lever, pre-
venting the door from being opened from the inside regard-
less of loclc button position.
Starting with models produced afler
911997, the General
Module and electronic immobilizer (EWS) interface via the
K-
Bus to monitor double lock status and to initiate double loclc
override. This feature allows the doors to be opened from the
inside if a key accepted by EWS is switched on in the ignition.
See Single lock and double lock function.
The door loclc buttons are mechanically uncoupled from the
actuators when locked. The remote keyless entry system
(FZV) is standard equipment. This allows for elimination of
the passengers side door
loclt cylinder.
Another function of the locking system is the
sofl close trunk
(SCA) system, where applicable.
Single lock and double lock function
(2000 and later models)
On models produced after
911999, each door lock actuator in-
corporates two motors:
Single lock motor controls the mechanical loclc mechanism
when the central lock switch is pressed to single loclc the
vehicle. The loclc mechanism is fully locked at this point but
can stil. be openeo from
the interor by pulng the appropri-
are interior door nandle lwce or by pressing rhe central
lock switch again. When single
lock'function is activated,
the fuel filler flap actuator is not locked.
Double lock motor, also known as central arrest, is activat-
ed only when the vehicle is locked from the outside at the
driver's door lock with a key or when the GM receives a
lock request from the remote entry (FZV) system. In this
case the double lock motor is activated simultaneously
with the single lock motor. The function of the double loclc
motor is to mechanically offset an internal rod in the loclc
actuator, disabling it from unlocking the vehicle from the in-
terior. This prevents the doors from being unloclted by any
means except from an unlock request at the driver's door
or via the FZV remote key.
Lock cylinder safety
4 The driver's door loclc and the trunk loclc incorporate an over-
running loclc cylinder similar to the ignition lock. If any key
other than the vehicle key, or a tool such as a screwdriver or
dent-puller, is inserted into the cylinder, it will cause the cyl-
inder to freewheel or spin.

position or when a speed signal of
4 mph is present at the
GM.
Remote entry (FZV)
< The €39 remote (keyless) entry system (FZV) uses a tiny ra-
dio transmitter in the vehicle key to
lock and unlock the doors
and the trunk by remote control. There are a number of other
features incorporated in FZV:
Locltinglunloclting of fuel filler lid
Selective unlocking of driver's door (as with key in lock)
Armingldisarming of DWA alarm system
Remote unlocking of
trunk lid or tailgate
Comfort opening of windows and sunroof
* Interior lighting activation
Panic mode alarm activation
* Models to 1999: Key incorporates LED. LED informs oper-
ator that an FZV signal is being transmitted. LED is also
useful indicator of key initialization status and lkey self-test.
Keys delivered with four different colored labels. This is
helpful to differentiate FZV keys during initialization,
pre.
venting possibility of misassigning key ID which would
change coded Key Memory functions.

/Central Locking and Anti-Theft
The General Module (GM) is connected to the FZV receiver
module (in left rear roof pillar) via K-Bus. Locking and unlock-
ing of doors, trunk or tailgate and convenience closing is car-
ried out by the GM subsystem controlling the door lock,
window and sunroof modules.
The accompanying schematic, Remote entry
(FZV) inputs

A single unlock request from the driver's door with the FZV
key unlocks the driver's door only.

es momentarily.
Release both buttons. GM immediately locks and unlocits
doors to signal successful initialization.
Remote system coding
* Initialize remaining lteys, repeating steps above.
The E39 remote entry system uses coded signals for security
purposes. The code signal sent by the transmitter is changed
every time the vehicle is lockedlunlocked with the transmitter.
A separate code signal is used for each transmitter that is ini-
tialized to the system. This allows for each transmitterto oper-
ate independently of the others.
Due to the changing of the code each time the buttons are de-
pressed, the system allows for a
lacit of synchronization be-
tween the transmitter and receiver. This would occur
if the
buttons on the transmitter are pressed inadvertently.
Up to
100 erroneous actuations of the transmitter are auto-
matically corrected
forby the control module. If more than 100
actuations are present, the operator need only to press the
button a second time to restore system operation.
