- a plurality of doors;
a plurality of locks that are configured to secure the plurality of doors;
a plurality of actuators for the plurality of locks;
a plurality of peripheral control units that are each connected to one lock of the plurality of locks, the plurality of peripheral control units configured to send a command signal to one of the plurality of actuators;
a central control unit that is configured to send command signals to the plurality of actuators;
an accident detector that is configured to detect an accident, and if the accident is detected by the accident detector, at least one of the plurality actuators is switchable from a central operating mode in which the command signals of the central control unit are executed and an associated peripheral control unit is placed into a peripheral operating mode in which only the command signals from the associated peripheral control unit is executed.

Abstract
A motor vehicle has a plurality of doors, each secured by a lock, peripheral control units, each connected to one of said locks, for sending a command signal to an actuator of the lock, a central control unit for sending command signals to the actuators of the locks, and an accident detector. If the accident detector has detected an accident, at least one of the actuators is switchable from a central operating mode in which it executes command signals of the central control unit and its associated peripheral control unit into a peripheral operating mode in which it executes only command signals from its peripheral control unit.
