Crash unlocking

A crash is detected by the multiple restraint system (MRS). A crash message is transmitted to the CAS. The message is sent on the K-CAN. The CAS unlocks the vehicle. All operating points are disabled when there is a crash message. This prevents unintentional actions of the central locking system from occurring due to line short circuits caused by the accident. The central locking system can only be reactivated after a crash once terminal R has been switched off for at least 3 seconds.
