Central Body Electronics: Introduction: Notes

The Central Body Electronics functions of the E65 are to a large extent identical to the ZKE III centralized system of the E38. To enhance convenience and safety, numerous technical modifications and innovations have been carried out. A large proportion of these improvements are executed in the background and are not immediately noticed by the customer.

A major difference to the E38 is the placement of software for a particular function. The software can be located in the associated control unit or distributed to several control units. On account of this distribution, each system is described below mainly in its capacity as a function.

The following functions are classified as "Central Body Electronics" of the E65:

• Central Locking and soft-close automatic doors
