Lock Unit With Quick Lock Functionality
The lock unit is installed in the rear of the doors. The lock unit has a quick lock function which is used to reduce the reaction time of the system. The lock unit has an integrated switch which is closed when the outer door handles are pulled out to their limit positions. The switch is mechanically connected to the exterior door handle by a control arm. This allows the keyless vehicle module (KVM) to activate the quick lock motors and open the door on which the handles was pulled out. The quick lock motor is activated after a key has been validated by the keyless vehicle module (KVM). The quick lock is mechanically connected to a catch in the standard lock mechanism at the striker plate on the car body. This means that when the handle is pulled out on a door, the door opens as soon as the keyless vehicle module (KVM) has validated the key. This reduces the reaction time of the system considerably.
The key unit is powered by the keyless vehicle module (KVM).
