Abstract
When a control unit for controlling a 2-motor-3-relay type locking system makes a transition to, for example, an N/L (lock) state, the two motors are turned on or off such that operation timings of the motors are shifted from each other by a period of time longer than a shift amount (variation) of required operation times of the relays.
