Functional description

The electric motor is activated by the convenience charging electronics. The request to unlock or lock the charging socket cover comes from the Body Domain Controller (BDC) or the Car Access System (CAS).

In addition, a microswitch is integrated in the central locking drive. The microswitch signals if the charging plug is at the end stop.

The charging socket can be unlocked manually via an emergency release.
