The doors of the passenger compartment have conventional locks with strikers located on the racks «IN» And «WITH», and built-in soft-closing switches.

The strikers for the hood and tailgate are built into the latches located on the car body.

The hood can only be opened with the ignition key inserted into the hood latch cylinder. To open the hood:

• 1. Turn the key all the way to the left; this releases the hood latch.
• 2. Turn the key all the way to the right, this allows you to open the hood.
• 3. Turn the key to its original center position and remove the key.

NOTE: After opening the hood, to avoid accidental damage/breakage of the ignition key in case of inadvertent impact on it while working in the engine compartment, the key must be removed.

The tailgate can be unlocked using the corresponding switch located on the instrument panel. It can also be opened with the ignition key by unlocking the lock located in the back door or by pressing the back door release button on the remote control transmitter twice.

The door latch mechanisms are actuated by a conventional lever-cable drive connected to the outer and inner handles.

The power lock system consists of the elements used in the power lock system, as well as the optional power door lock switch, motor, wiring and electrical circuit protection elements.

The door handle and latch are removed from the inside of the door panel. Handle and latch cannot be removed separately. Drive rods and latches on the inside of the door are covered with a special shield.

The remote control transmitter performs the following functions:

• Unlocking and locking the driver's door.
• Unlocking and locking all doors.
• Unlocking and locking the tailgate.
• Activating and deactivating the double lock and interior scan system (in the presence of).
• Enabling and disabling the anti-theft alarm system.
• Disabling a triggered alarm.

Input and output signals

Locking system with «keyless» input receives input signals from the following elements:

• ignition switch (provisions I and II).
• Door soft closing switches.
• Hood opening switch.
• Tailgate opening switch.
• remote transmitter
• Tailgate anti-theft alarm switch.

Locking system with «keyless» input distributes input signals to the following elements:

• Central timer module (CTM) (vehicles manufactured up to 08.2001).
• GEM (vehicles manufactured since 08.2001).
• Electric door locks.
• Electric motors for double locking of door locks.
• LED indicator (Light-emitting diode).
• Direction indicators.
• Audible alarm.

Remote transmitter

Locking system with «keyless» input is completely independent in function, but fully integrated into the anti-theft alarm system and double blocking of the door locks (vehicles manufactured up to 01.2001) or in GEM (vehicles manufactured since 01.2001). The remote control system consists of a transmitter and an antenna (RF system).

In an RF system, the remote control transmitter will work without pointing the transmitter at the vehicle. The normal distance between the remote control transmitter and the antenna is 10 meters.

Before the remote control system can be used, each transmitter must be initialized to the vehicle. A maximum of four remote control transmitters can be initialized per vehicle. All remote control transmitters must be initialized at the same time.

Locks «keyless» inputs will not work when the ignition switch is in the RUN position (JOB).

Locking and unlocking

The remote control transmitter is located in the ignition key and contains three system control buttons.

Press the LOCK button (locking) once to activate the central locking system and the alarm system.

Press the LOCK button (locking) twice within two seconds to activate the central locking system, double door locking system, alarm system and interior scanning system (in the presence of).


By pressing the UNLOCK button once (unlocking) the double locking of the door locks is deactivated, the alarm system is deactivated and only the driver's door is unlocked.

By pressing the UNLOCK button twice (unlocking) within three seconds, the remaining doors are unlocked.

For vehicles manufactured from 01.2001, the unlocking mode can be changed from a single press to unlock only the driver's door to unlocking all doors (dampers). PRESS the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for 4 seconds. Pressing again and holding the buttons for 4 seconds will return to the original mode. When each mode change is recognized by the module, the direction indicators flash twice.

By pressing the LIFTGATE RELEASE button twice (unlocking the tailgate) within three seconds, the tailgate is unlocked.

Double blocking of door locks

Double blocking of door locks blocks unlocking of doors by means of internal door handles.

Dual door locking is activated by turning the key in the driver's or passenger's door lock to the unlock position and then to the lock position for three seconds, or by remote control transmitter.

Successful operation of the double locking of the door locks is confirmed by the double switching on of the direction indicators and the LED indicator.

The activation of the double interlock will be delayed if the control module recognizes the open state of the door. The theft alarm and dual lock module receives this input from the CTM (vehicles manufactured up to 08.2001) or GEM (vehicles manufactured since 08.2001), which receives its input from the door soft close switch.


If the car battery is discharged after the double door locks have been activated, then when the door is opened with the key, the double door locks are mechanically disengaged (open door only).

Anti-theft alarm system module and double blocking of door locks (vehicles manufactured up to 08.2001)

See Section 419-10 for more information. The anti-theft alarm and dual door lock module is equipped with a backup battery that provides power to the programmable transmitter memory (ov) if the car battery is disconnected.

Principle of operation

Door switch operation when locked

When moving the lock switch (ov) doors (to her) to the lock position or when the door lock cylinder is turned to the lock position, the lock switch (ov) doors (to her) grounds the input of the electrical locking circuit to the central security module (CSM). The CSM then supplies 12 volts to one side of the door lock actuators contained in the door latch assemblies while simultaneously providing ground to the other side of the door lock actuators. This completes the electrical circuit of the door lock actuators, causing the door lock actuators to rotate the cam block, which then locks the doors.

Door switch operation when unlocking

When moving the lock switch (ov) doors (to her) to the unlock position, the switch grounds the unlock circuit input to the CSM. The CSM then supplies 12V to the opposite side (in relation to locking the door (to her)) electric drive (ov) castle (ov) doors (to her), located (theirs) in the block (Oh) latches (OK) doors (to her), and at the same time grounds the other side of the actuator (devices) castle (ov) doors (to her). This closes the electrical actuator (devices) castle (ov) doors (to her), forcing the actuator (A) castle (ov) doors (to her) turn the cam (glasses) in the opposite direction, which will unlock the door (to her). 12 V voltage that the CSM module supplies to the actuator (am) castle (ov) doors (to her), is fed to the lock actuator of each door from the individual CSM connector pins.

Unlocking the tailgate

When the tailgate release switch is pressed, the switch grounds the input circuitry to the CSM. When the CSM receives a ground signal, the module supplies 12 volts to the tailgate release actuator.

Functioning of the door lock cylinders

Both front doors - driver and passenger - can be unlocked by inserting the key into the lock cylinder of either door. When the ignition key is inserted into the lock of any door and turned to the locked position, the linkage causes the cam in the door latch assembly to rotate. When the cam in the door latch is turned, it mechanically moves the door latch (in a door that uses a key) to the locking position. Other doors are electronically locked.

«Keyless» entrance

When a remote transmitter button is pressed, it sends the appropriate command to the CSM as a radio frequency. The CSM receives the command from the remote transmitter via the antenna built into the CSM.

When the CSM receives a command from a remote transmitter, it then sends the appropriate output signal to control the required devices. These output devices include:

• Front and rear door locks.
• CTM
• Electric motor for opening the tailgate.
• Right and left direction indicators.

The CSM sends a signal to the CTM if the door step lamps need to be turned on.
