Operating central locking with transmitter key, function - GF80.20-P-2002CW

MODEL 204.0/2 up to Model Year 8 

General function requirements 

Operation with transmitter key, function, general 

The central locking can operated with the transmitter key (A8/1).

The operation of the transmitter key comprises the following partial functions:

Function sequence for presetting global and selective unlocking 

If the unlock and lock buttons on the transmitter key are pressed simultaneously for 5 seconds, a change between the "global" and "selective" settings takes place. The indicator lamp on the transmitter key comes on for confirmation.

Function sequence for locking or unlocking 

When the "Lock or unlock" buttons on the transmitter key are actuated, it transmits a radio signal with the FM, AM and CL antenna amplifier (A2/18) (on model 204.0) or rear window antenna amplifier 1 (A2/71) (on model 204.2) to the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2). This relays the signal to the electronic ignition switch control unit (N73) with interior CAN.

Parallel to the radio signal, an infrared signal is transmitted to the driver front door infrared remote control receiver (A26/1) (precise aiming required).

This signal is read in by the left front door control unit (N69/1) and transmitted to the electronic ignition switch control unit with interior CAN.

IMPORTANT The infrared and radio signals contain the same information (redundant). The first signal received always has priority.

The access authorization for the transmitter key is checked in both cases by the electronic ignition switch control unit.

If the access authorization is valid, the electronic ignition switch control unit transmits the command "Lock or unlock" with the interior CAN to the:

They lock or unlock the following components by actuating the:

Moreover, the SAM control unit inhibits the opening request from the trunk lid external operation switch (S88/8) (on model 204.0) or tailgate external operation switch (S88/8) (on model 204.2) or enables it.

IMPORTANT On vehicles for Great Britain, the left rear door lock is actuated by the left rear door control unit (N69/3) and right rear door lock is actuated by the right rear door control unit (N69/4).

Function sequence for visual feedback 

After successfully locking or unlocking, the following components provide visual feedback:

The function is controlled by the front SAM control unit, transmitting the turn signal as blinkmaster with the interior CAN:

IMPORTANT Vehicles with code (551) Anti-theft alarm system (ATA): If the driver door in the locked vehicle is opened mechanically with the emergency key, the anti-theft alarm system (ATA) triggers an alarm.

On vehicles with code (494) USA version, an acoustic feedback is output additionally with the alarm siren (H3/1) when locking or unlocking.

Function sequence for remote trunk lid opening 

When the button "Trunk lid remote opening" on the transmitter key is actuated, it transmits a radio signal to the rear SAM control unit with the FM, AM and CL antenna amplifier. This relays the signal to the electronic ignition switch control unit with interior CAN. Parallel to the radio signal, an infrared signal is transmitted to the driver front door infrared remote control receiver (precise aiming required).

This signal is read in by the left front door control unit and transmitted to the electronic ignition switch control unit with interior CAN.

The access authorization for the transmitter key is checked in both cases by the electronic ignition switch control unit. If the access authorization is valid, the electronic ignition switch control unit transmits the command "Lock or unlock" to the rear SAM control unit with interior CAN.

This unlocks the rotary tumbler on the trunk lid with trunk lid central locking motor (M14/7).

The trunk lid is opened up to the upper stop by spring force.
