OVERVIEW
All the vehicle hinged panels are secured by latches with mating strikers.
The latches incorporate panel ajar switches that will inform the driver of an
open door, tailgate or hood.
The Central Door Locking (CDL) system is operated by either the smart key
or the interior CDL switches. The CDL system controls the automatic locking
and unlocking of the vehicle entry points. The software used to control the
CDL system is incorporated within the Central Junction Box (CJB).
The CDL system is also integrated with the interior lighting function. The
interior lights and exterior mirror approach lamps are illuminated via the
Radio Frequency (RF) receiver and the CJB following a valid unlock request
from the smart key.
For additional information, refer to: Interior Lighting (417-02, Description and
Operation).
If configured, the door mirror powerfold function is also operated by the
CDL system.
A concealed emergency key barrel is provided in the front driver door
exterior handle, and is used to gain access to the vehicle if the battery is
discharged or the CDL system fails.
