Convertible central locking
In Convertible models, the glove
compartment lock is integrated into
central locking functions. An additional
lock actuator is positioned above the
glove compartment lock, locking it
whenever central locking is activated.
A microswitch on the glove compartment
lock cylinder signals the GM V to lock
the trunk electrically. This is the
equivalent of valet key position. The
trunk can only be opened with either the
remote (FZV) key or the wallet key.
Also, the trunk is locked whenever the
top storage compartment is unlocked
while the top is raised or lowered. The
top storage cover motor Hall sensor
signals the GM V whenever the cover is
unlocked.
The Convertible Top Module (CVM II)
receives a signal from the GM V over the
K-bus to lock out convertible top
operation whenever the trunk is OPEN.
The FZV antenna for the Convertible is
incorporated into the rear view mirror.
