Central Locking, Servicing

- The central locking in the Audi A8 now works with electricity rather than pneumatically as it did before.

- The adjusters in the doors are integrated inside the door lock and have 2 motors.

- The adjusters cannot be replaced separately.

- The first motor locks the door and the second motor locks the interior door mechanism (Safe Function).

- The door can no longer be opened from the inside.

- Vehicles with "Advanced Key" must be locked using the remote key after leaving the vehicle in order to activate the Safe Function.

- Or the Safe Function can be activated using the button in the door handles.

- The tank flap actuator and the rear lid each have their own motor, which can be removed separately.

- The central locking control module will unlock any locked doors if there is a crash and the airbag deploys.

- The central locking control module is located inside the right rear side panel.
