Central Door Locking

• All the doors can be locked/unlocked, using the driver's side door lock switch or the passenger's side door lock switch.
• The function that allows the driver's door to be opened by pulling the driver's door inside handle even when the driver's door inside lock knob is in the lock position is called "override function".

When the door is locked by the driver's or passenger's door lock switch, the ETACS-ECU operates its door lock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors for 0.25 second to lock all the doors.

When the door is unlocked by the driver's or passenger's door lock switch, the ETACS-ECU operates its door unlock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors.

When the door is locked and unlocked by driver's or passenger's door lock switch consecutively, the ETACS-ECU operates its door lock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors for 0.25 second to lock all the doors. Then, the ETACS-ECU operates its door unlock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors. Due to this, there may be a time lag between the driver's or passenger's door lock switch actuation and the time when all the doors are unlocked.
