locked, the anti-theft system is activated and the windows and sliding/tilting sunroof are closed. The feedback 
message for the relevant control unit is via the contact switch in the lock unit. 

The electrical Comfort System (vehicles with power windows) can operate all the known convenience functions 
i.e. control of interior lights, anti-theft alarm with interior monitoring, electric windows and mirrors as well as 
radio wave remote control provided the vehicle is equipped with these functions. 

If an airbag is triggered this automatically sends a signal to the Comfort System (vehicles with power windows) 
which unlocks the doors and switches on the interior lights. 

The Central control module for comfort system -J393- is located under the instrument panel and is secured to 
the steering column by a bracket. It is equipped with a fault memory. The On Board Diagnosis (OBD) 
connection is located beneath the cover under the steering wheel. 

The control unit recognizes faults and malfunctions in the central locking Comfort System (vehicles with power 
windows) (Comfort System (vehicles with power windows) includes central locking, anti-theft alarm, electric 
windows, radio wave remote control, mirror) and stores them in a non-volatile memory. 

To commence fault finding, initiate On Board Diagnosis (OBD) and retrieve the stored information with the 
Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System VAS 5051 or the scan tool V.A.G 1551/1552).
