Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Center-lock Button
The vehicle can be locked/unlocked with the center-lock button.
If the center-lock button is not being pressed, the junction box electronics module receives a high signal (battery voltage approximately 12 V). The high signal changes to a low signal (approximately 0 V) as soon as the center-lock button is pressed.
The junction box electronics module evaluates the change from the high signal to the low signal and locks/unlocks the vehicle.
In order for locking or unlocking to take place, the driver's door and front passenger door must be closed.
