Body System (01.00)
May 2007 Workshop Manual 1-10-1
Body System (01.00)
Handles and Lock Mechanisms (01.14)
Description
The vehicle key operates the
ignition and the door lock, the
remote transmitter operates the
central locking and alarm systems.
Do not leave them in the vehicle .
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.
(A) Lock - One step vehicle
locking and alarm enable
.
(B) Un-lock - One step vehicle

unlocking and alarm disable.
(C) Boot Open - Press to enable
the boot catch.
(D) Panic Alarm - Activates / deactivates the panic alarm.
