It is responsible for unlocking and locking the vehicle. The central locking controls all vehicle doors, the upper section of the two-piece tailgate and the fuel filler flap. The central locking can be operated via the following components: • Remote control • Driver's door lock barrel (door lock) • Center lock button • Exterior tailgate button • Identification transmitter and outer door handle electronic module TAGE for Comfort Access. A correspondingly adapted electrical system taken from the E90 is used in the E70. Forthis reason, many components and functions stem from the E90. The Car Access System now features the third generation of control units. The electron¬ ic vehicle immobilizer 4 is also used in connection with the Car Access System 3. The Car Access System 3 is backwards compatible with the Car Access System 2. Therefore, the Car Access System 3 contains all the functions of its predecessor. It is possible to open and close the vehicle both actively or passively. Active means the vehicle is unlocked by pressing the button on the remote control and can then be opened. After closing the doors, the vehicle can be locked by pressing the Lock button. Option SA 322 Comfort Access is required forthe passive opening and closing function. Passive means the vehicle is unlocked by grasping the outer door handle, provided the identification transmitter is located within a radius of no more than approximately 2 m from the vehicle. The locking function is triggered by touching the sensitive area on the outer door handle. A furtheroption is SA 323 Automatic Soft-Close Function.The automatic soft-close function is available for all vehicle doors. When equipped with the automatic soft-close function, the vehicle door needs only to be gently pulled or pushed into the lock. The automatic soft-close function then completely closes the door. The central locking system is responsible for locking and unlocking the vehicle and incorporates the vehicle doors, tailgate and fuel filler flap. Note: The lower section of the tailgate is fully mechanical and can be opened as soon as the uppersection has been opened. 4 E70 Central Locking System Overview Input/Output Central Locking Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Remote control 7 Central locking, tailgate 2 Car Access System 3 CAS 3 8 J unction box control unitj B 3 Center-lock button 9 Lock (4x) in vehicle doors 4 Central locking, fuel filler flap 10 Footwell module FRM 5 Exterior tailgate button 11 Driver's door lock barrel 6 Automatic soft-close drive unit, tailgate K-CAN Bodyshell CAN The Car Access System 3 (2) evaluates the signal from the remote control (1) and initi¬ ates the vehicle unlocking or locking procedure.

The footwell module (10) evaluates the movement (status of Hall sensors) of the lock barrel. 5 E70 Central Locking System Schematic Circuit Diagram 6 E70 Central Locking Legend for System Schematic Circuit Diagram Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Unlocking glove compartment, inside vehicle 18 Hall sensors for automatic soft-close, rear dri¬ ver's side 2 Glove compartment lighting 19 Door contact, central locking, rear driver's side 3 Unlocking glove compartment, outside vehi¬ cle 20 Automatic soft-close SCA, driver's door Door contact, central locking, front passenger's door 21 Hall sensors for automatic soft-close, driver's door 5 Hall sensors for automatic soft-close, front passenger's door 22 Lock barrel, door contact, central locking, driver's door 6 Automatic soft-close SCA front passenger's door 23 Footwell module FRM 7 Door contact, central locking, rear passenger's side 24 Unlock button for glove compartment 8 Hall sensors for automatic soft-close, rear passenger's side 25 Center-lock button 9 Automatic soft-close SCA, rear passenger's side 26 J unction box control unitj B 10 Central locking, fuel fillerflap 27 Center console switch cluster with tailgate button, inside 11 Relay, automatic soft-close, tailgate 28 Integrated automatic climate control IHKA 12 Luggage compartment light 29 Car Access System 3 CAS 3 13 Luggage compartment light 30 Remote control receiver in diversity module 14 Automatic soft-close drive unit, tailgate 31 Rear window antenna, remote control services 15 Button, tailgate, exterior K-CAN Bodyshell CAN 16 Central locking, tailgate Kl. 30g Terminal 30 switched 17 Automatic soft-close SCA, rear driver's side KI.30 Terminal 30 7 E70 Central Locking K-CAN signals atCarAccess System 3 In/out Information Source/sink Function In Crash signal Crash sensor>Advanced crash safety management Unlock central locking in the event of a crash In Vehicle speed Rotation rate sensor > Dynamic stability control Lock as from a defined vehicle speed Out Hall sensor status, driver's door lock barrel Driver's door lock barrel > Footwell module Convenient opening of vehicle Out Hall sensor status, driver's door lock barrel Driver's door lock barrel > Footwell module Convenient closing of vehicle The signal from the remote control is received via the rear window antenna (31). The remote control receiver integrated in the diversity module (30) forwards the signal to the Car Access System 3 (29). After successfully checking the signal, the Car Access System 3 initiates activation of the central locking. The Car Access System 3 is the cen¬ tral control unitforthe central locking. The junction box control unit (26) executes the vehicle unlocking and locking functions. Thefootwell module (23) evaluates the status of all door contacts (4, 7,19 and 22). It makes available the respective status via the K-CAN. In this way, the Car Access System 3 can prevent the vehicle being locked with the driver's door open. The junction box control unit evaluates the status of the center lock button (25). The junction box control unit activates the central locking corresponding to the status. The junction box control unit is also responsible for registering the status and activating the central locking in the tailgate. In addition, the junction box control unit drives the fuel fillerflap (10). The footwell module evaluates the signals from the Hall sensors forthe lock barrel (22) and makes this information available on the K-CAN. Based on this information, the Car Access System 3 is informed of the status of the door lock in the driver's door. This is important forthe case when a request to unlock or lock the vehicle is triggered via the remote control. 8 E70 Central Locking System Components Control Units Footwell Module (FRM) The footwell module is installed at the left-hand A-pillar. It evaluates the status of the door contacts and reads in the Hall sensor signals of the lock barrel in the driver's door and transfers the information via the K-CAN to the junction box control unit or Car Access System 3. Car Access System 3 The Car Access System 3 is installed on the left next to the steering column. It assumes the masterfunction forthe central locking. The Car Access System 3 has the exclusive system authorization and is simply supported by the other control units. J unction Box Control Unit (J B) The junction box control unit is plugged into the front power distribution box. The junction box control unit contains the relays for activating the central locking drive units. The tailgate central locking is activated via a power output stage in the junction box con¬ trol unit. The drive unit forthe automatic soft close function is powered by a relay in the rear power distribution box. The junction box control unit activates the relay. The signals from the exterior tailgate button and center-lock button are also sentto the junction box control unit and transferred to the Car Access System 3. The remote control receiver is powered by the rear power distribution box. Note: The power distribution box and the junction box control unit are two separate components. Keep this in mind when performing service work. 9 E70 Central Locking Controls The central locking can be operated from the following controls: • Remote control • Identification transmitter (Comfort Access only) • Driver's door lock barrel • Center-lock button Remote Control Each vehicle is delivered with one spare key and two remote control units.The adapter for the spare key is located in the glove compartment. The remote control has three buttons for operating the central locking system. There is a rechargeable battery in the remote control that is charged by means of a transponder coil in the remote control holder. The mechanical key is integrated in the remote control. i, & & The remote control has a 512 MB data memory.The following data can be stored in the remote control: Data Explanation km reading (mileage) Current km reading of vehicle VIN Key number Number of remote control Fault code memory entries from SAM 2.5, the fault entries are indicated linked to possible measures in PuMA NAVI-DVD version Data status of navigation DVD Engine oil Information on topping up or draining the engine oil, e.g. overfilling Battery condition Battery charge status Integration stages Integration stage that left the factory, last programmed or currently available Note: The remote control receiver is integrated in the antenna diversity facility and forwards the remote control signal to the Car Access System 3. 10 E70 Central Locking Index Explanation 1 Unlock/convenient open button 2 Lock/convenient close button 3 Button for OPEN tailgate 4 Mechanical key Driver's Door Lock Barrel The lock barrel is connected mechanically via a linkage to the door lock. Hall sensors for the lock barrel are integrated in the door lock. The footwell module evaluates the signals from the Hall sensors for locking/unlocking purposes. Central Locking Button The center-lock button is installed between the center of the outlets in the dashboard. The center-lock button forms one unit together with the hazard warning lights button. 11 E70 Central Locking Central Locking Drive Units A central locking drive unit consists of an electric drive unit and the unlocking/locking mechanism. Doors The central locking drive units in the doors are equipped with two motors to facilitate the unlocking/locking and central arrest functions of the vehicle. Central arrest means that the locking button in the doors is separated mechanically from the central locking drive unit. As a result, the vehicle cannot be opened by pulling the locking button. The Hall sensorforthe door contact is additionally integrated in the central locking drive unit. Tailgate and Fuel Filler Flap The central locking drive units forthe tailgate and fuel fillerflap are each equipped with a motorforunlocking/locking purposes. The central locking drive unit in the tailgate contains the tailgate contact. The tailgate contact serves the purpose of signalling tailgate "OPEN" or "CLOSED". The tailgate is additionally equipped with the drive unit forthe automatic soft-close func¬ tion. This drive unit also features a motor. The automatic soft-close drive unit also has a contactforthe automatic soft-close func¬ tion. Manually Releasing the Fuel Filler Flap The fuel fillerflap can be unlocked manually in the event of an electrical defect. The release device is located in the luggage compartment on the right behind the luggage compartment cover. 1. Remove cover 2. Pull green knob with fuel pump symbol. 12 E70 Central Locking Mechanical Release of LowerTailgate The E70 features a fully mechanical release function forthe tailgate. Locking of the lower tailgate is not monitored. The left and right lock are released by turning the handle (2). The rotary motion of the handle is transferred to the lock/unlock mechanism and in turn to the bowden cables.The tailgate can be folded down after releasing the locks.

The remote control receiver is located in the diversity module and forwards the signal to the Car Access System 3. The signal from the remote control is verified in the Car Access System 3. If the signal is recognized as valid, the junction box control unit is enabled forthe purpose of unlocking the central locking drive units. The junction box control unit now activates the relay as well as the power output stages to triggerthe vehicle unlocking procedure. Locking The vehicle can be locked only afterthe footwell module has evaluated the door contacts and the Car Access System 3 signals that the doors are closed. The further signal progression for locking the vehicle corresponds analogously to the sig¬ nal progression ofthe unlocking procedure. All central locking drive units are moved to the "lock" position while the vehicle is being locked. The central locking drive units in the doors additionally assume the "central arrest" posi¬ tion. Following the central arrest procedure, the locking buttons in the doors are mechani¬ cally separated from the central locking drive system. The vehicle can now no longer be unlocked using the locking buttons in the doors. Central Locking Button The vehicle can be locked/unlocked with the center-lock button. The junction box control unit receives a high signal (battery voltage approximately. 12 V) when the center-lock button is not pressed. The high signal changes to a low signal (approximately. 0 V) as soon as the center-lock button is pressed. The junction box control unit evaluates the change from the high signal to the low signal and locks/unlocks the vehicle. Mechanical Key The footwell module evaluates the Hall sensors forthe lock barrel in the driver's door. The Car Access System 3 is informed ofthe change in status via the K-CAN. The Car Access System 3 enables the vehicle unlocking/locking procedure. The junction box control unit initiates the vehicle unlocking/locking procedure. Locking Button on Vehicle Doors All four doors can be mechanically locked separately with the locking button. To unlock the vehicle door, it is necessary to pull twice on the innerdoor handle. However, the junction box control unit does not activate the central locking. 15 E70 Central Locking Car Access System 3 As soon as the Car Access System 3 receives the signal from the remote control receiver, it checks whetherthe remote control is valid and belongs to the vehicle. Only if the check is successful will the Car Access System 3 forward the request to the central locking. The check, also referred to as authentication, takes in the order of milliseconds. Serving as the master control unit of the central locking system, the Car Access System 3 issues the enable to activate the central locking. The junction box control unit receives the enable via the K-CAN. J unction Box Control Unit The junction box control unit is the executing control unit and locks/unlocks the complete vehicle. The relays forthe unlocking/locking operations are located in the junction box control unit.The following relays are activated: • Relay for unlocking/locking central locking - Driver's door • Relay for unlocking/locking central locking - Rear doors - Front passenger's door - Fuel fillerflap The central locking forthe tailgate is activated directly via a power output stage. The relay forthe automatic soft-close function of the tailgate is also controlled by the junction box control unit. Footwell Module FRM The footwell module monitors the Hall sensors of the door contacts. A status change occurs in the door contacts when a door is opened or closed. The junction box control unit receives the current status of the door contacts from the footwell module via the K-CAN.The junction box control unit forwards the status of the door contacts to the Car Access System 3. The request to lock the vehicle, for example, is not executed while the driver's door is open. 16 E70 Central Locking Opening the UpperTailgate The uppertailgate can be unlocked via the remote control, the exterior or interior tailgate release button and then opened. Remote Control The tailgate is opened with the remote control by pressing on the tailgate symbol. The uppertailgate unlocks and can be opened. Note: The motor in the tailgate lock and the relay forthe automatic soft-close drive unit are activated via power output stages in the junction box con¬ trol unit. The uppertailgate can also be opened by pressing the tailgate symbol on the identification transmitter. ExteriorTailgate Button As soon as the vehicle is unlocked, the uppertailgate can be opened by pressing the exterior tailgate button. The button switches to ground when the exterior tailgate button is pressed. The junction box control unit monitors the button. The uppertailgate is unlocked and can be opened when the signal from the button goes to low. InteriorTailgate Button As soon as the vehicle is unlocked, the uppertailgate can be unlocked and opened by pressing the interior tailgate button. The button is located in the center console switch cluster SZM and switches to ground. The center console switch cluster evaluates the button. The signal is made available to the control unit of the air conditioning systems. The air conditioning system sends the signal via the K-CAN to the junction box control unit. The junction box control unit evaluates the message and triggers the tailgate unlocking procedure. C losing the Tailgate Closing the tailgate starts the automatic soft close drive unit via a microswitch forthe tail¬ gate. The microswitch is located in the tailgate lock. The junction box control unit evalu¬ ates the microswitch. The microswitch signal has a high level when the tailgate is open. The signal changes to low level when the tailgate is closed. The junction box control unit activates the automatic soft-close drive unit until it generates a low signal via its own switch contact. Activation ceases and the automatic soft-close drive unit assumes it origi¬ nal position. 17 E70 Central Locking E70 Tailgate 3 Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Top left tailgate hinge 4 Tailgate lock and SCA drive unit 2 Top right tailgate hinge 5 Tailgate latch, left 3 Tailgate latch, right Note: Closing the tailgate with the automatic soft-close drive unit ensures that it is closed reliably while also increasing the vehicle rigidity. The drive unit of the automatic soft close function pulls the tailgate into the latch mechanism. The vehicle body and the tailgate are now firmly connected, thus reduc¬ ing the torsional motion orvibration of the tailgate to a minimum. Opening and C losing the LowerTailgate The lowertailgate is locked mechanically. It can only be unlocked and opened fully mechanically when the uppertailgate is opened. 18 E70 Central Locking Special Features Automatic Locking (personal profile) The vehicle is locked automatically when driving at a speed in excess of 16 km/h. The speed signal is made available by the dynamic stability control. The vehicle is unlocked in connection with Comfort Access as soon as terminal 15 is switched off. On vehicles without Comfort Access, the unlocking procedure is triggered by removing the remote control from its holder. Unlocking After a Crash A locked central locking system is unlocked as soon as the Car Access System 3 receives a crash message from the advanced crash safety management. On receiving the crash signal, the center-lock button and the remote control receiver are inhibited forthe central locking functions.The center-lock button and the remote control receiver are enabled again only afterthe change "terminal R OFF/terminal R ON". Selective Unlocking With corresponding coding, the vehicle can also be unlocked selectively. In this case, initially the driver's door is unlocked. The rest of the vehicle is unlocked in response to a renewed unlock request. 19 E70 Central Locking
