Additional function requirements for locking/unlocking CL 

Function sequence for locking/unlocking 

The vehicle can be locked and unlocked by actuation the interior CL actuation switch (except fuel filler flap).

The left interior actuation CL switch is read in by the left front seat operation switch group (S22). The seat operation switch group transmits the request to the left front door control unit (N69/1) (model 221) or left door control unit (N69/1) (model 216) via the front door LIN.

The right interior actuation CL switch is read in by the right front seat operation switch group (S23). The seat operation switch group transmits the request to the right front door control unit (N69/2) (model 221) or right door control unit (N69/2) (model 216) via the front door LIN.

The corresponding door control unit relays the signal to the EIS control unit (N73) via the interior CAN.

The EIS control unit transmits the "Lock or unlock" command to the following control units via the interior CAN:

Model 221:

Model 216:

The rear SAM control unit enables or disables the request from the trunk lid external operation switch (S88/8).

The unlocking and locking functions are enabled depending on the door status as follows:

Driver and passenger door closed:

Passenger door open:

Driver door open:

The current door status of the front doors is relayed by the corresponding door lock unit to the corresponding door control unit which relays the signals to the EIS control unit.

Additional function requirements for unlocking trunk lid (opening) 

Function sequence for unlocking trunk lid(opening) 

The trunk lid open/close switch is located in the driver side outside mirror and trunk lid power window switch group (S20/1) and is read in by the corresponding door control unit via the front door LIN.

When the trunk lid open/close switch is actuated, the signal is transmitted from the door control unit via the interior CAN to the EIS control unit and from there relayed to the rear SAM control unit. The latter actuates the trunk lid CL motor to unlock.

Function sequence for trunk lid emergency opening 

The trunk lid emergency opening switch (S88/10) is located on the inside of the trunk lid and is read in by the rear SAM control unit. When the trunk lid emergency release switch is actuated, the rear SAM control unit actuates the trunk lid CL motor to unlock.

The function is dependent of the vehicle speed and locking status of the CL.
