Power Door Lock Actuator: Description and Operation

Operating element.

A pneumatic connector is provided on the operating elements.
Operation and design of the operating elements in the doors, on the trunk lid and the fuel tank flap are identical. For locking they are supplied with vacuum and for unlocking with pressure.

The elements for the trunk lid and the fuel tank flap differ from those of the doors only with regard to their final detent position. For external identification, an upper part of these elements is in color. The door elements however are black. The final detent position is carried out by means of a spring in the door lock.
