Comfort System

The new generation of central locking operates on the electric motor principle as compared to the previous pneumatic operation. The locking units in the doors (door lock) have an electric motor. The motor locks and also takes care of the "Safe" condition, i.e. after locking at an external lock (door lock, tailgate, radio remote control) the vehicle is protected against theft and can no longer be unlocked from the interior. The feedback on the respective condition in control module occurs via the contact switch in the locking unit.

All the known convenience functions can be performed with the electric comfort system:

If the airbag control module is triggered, a signal is sent to the convenience control module to unlock the doors.

The central control module for comfort system (J393) is located under the carpet in Front of driver's seat. The Data Link Connector (DLC) for On Board Diagnostics is located under the dash on the driver's side. The control module recognizes malfunctions in the central locking comfort system (central locking includes central locking, anti-theft alarm, electric windows, radio frequency remote control, and mirror) and stores them in a non-volatile memory.
