Deutsch term

an den Lock/Unlock-Tasters kommen ("Affengriff")

Deutsch > Englisch Technik Kraftfahrzeuge/PKW und LKW
Bei gezogenem Innengriff an der Fahrertür ist ein Verriegeln des Türschlosses über den Lock/Unlock-Tasters möglich.
Unter folgenden Umständen kann das zum Aussperren führen.
Der Kunde muss während des Aussteigens und gezogenem Innengriff an den Lock/Unlock-Tasters kommen ("Affengriff").
Wenn zu diesem Zeitpunkt die Fahrertür noch geschlossen ist, wird das Schloss verriegelt.
Nach dem Schließen der Tür ist der Fahrer somit ausgesperrt, sofern sich der Schlüssel noch im Fahrzeug befindet.
The text is on safety system in cars and the sentence is grammatically very poor. Can someone help?

Many Thanks in advance!

Oops, I have to revise my position: If the drive manages to pull the inner door handle of he driver'[s door and actuate the L/U button at the same time, *while the driver's door is closed, and then exits the car, it will be locked when the door is closed.

another door or the the roof window opening (!). No wonder an Affengriff is required ;-) .
Ken Cox Aug 18, 2008:
If I understand this right, the driver has to simultaneously pull the inside door handle and actuate the lock/unlock button while exiting the car, and the driver's door must be closed while this is happening. If this is correct, (s)he must exit via...

Ich nehme an, daß es Ihnen um den Affengriff geht. Die Analogie stammt m.E. aus dem IT-Bereich (Ctrl-Alt-Del).

Hi Roak, as far as i am aware, this is justa button with a loack and unlock symbol on it that can be set to lock after driving a few metres or after a certain speed automatically. You can set this automatically by pressing it on the lock symbol for a few seconds and thereafter the car cannot be opened from the outside. Hope this may be of help
