Background

From and including the above Vehicle Identification Numbers, the sensors in the door locks have been removed which involves changed central locking logic. In order to ensure correct lock function without sensors, the locks will make an opposite movement before they move to the requested position (locked or unlocked). The following will take place:

Cars with TSL (Theft Security Locking): Pressing the unlock button with an unlocked car will move the locks to locked position and then return them to unlocked position. The lock button moves down and up. When pressing the lock button with a locked car, the locks will remain in locked position.

Cars without TSL (Theft Security Locking): Pressing the unlock button with an unlocked car will move the locks to locked position and then return them to unlocked position. The lock button moves down and up. When pressing the lock button with a locked car, it will unlock and then return to locked position. The lock button moves up and down.

A mechanical catch in the driver's door lock has been removed in connection with this change. This means that the lock button can be pressed down if the driver's door is open, which was previously not possible.
