2. The system of claim 1, wherein a single motor is provided to transmit drive through the locking system to drive both latches to a position where movement of the striker is limited by the latches, and wherein the controller is configured to control the motor to move the striker to the primary locking position of the movable front panel and lock the striker in the primary locking position of the movable front panel.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the motor is adapted to drive the first latch to move the striker from the secondary latched position to the primary latched position.

4. A locking system according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the controller is adapted to process a signal based on the vehicle speed and to cause the secondary catch to move to the locking position when the signal is based on any vehicle speed above a predetermined threshold.

5. The locking system of claim 1, wherein the predetermined threshold is between 3 and 10kph, or about 5 kph.

6. A locking system according to any one of the preceding claims, the system comprising means for moving the secondary catch to the rest position.

7. A locking system according to any one of claims 2 to 6, wherein the motor is adapted to rotate a motor cam to drive a cam follower of an actuating member rotatably mounted on a body of the locking system.

8. A locking system according to any preceding claim, wherein the first catch is provided in the form of a pawl having a jaw adapted to engage with the striker to pivot the pawl about the pawl.

9. The locking system of claim 8, wherein one of the pawl and pawl member has a first locking surface and the other of the pawl and pawl member has at least one additional locking surface adapted to lockingly engage the first locking surface.

10. The locking system of claim 9, wherein the first locking surface comprises a pawl locking surface of the pawl member, and the at least one additional locking surface comprises two locking notches of the pawl selectively engageable by the pawl locking surface.

11. The locking system of claim 10, wherein the pawl locking surface and the locking notch are arranged to engage each other in at least one locked position of the pawl, and wherein a biasing member is provided for moving the pawl from the locked position to its open position.

12. A locking system according to claim 10 or 11, wherein a biasing member is provided for biasing the pawl locking surface towards the engagement surface of the pawl.

13. A locking system according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the secondary catch comprises a rotatable lever adapted to rotate about a pivot.

14. The locking system of claim 13, wherein the second catch has a hook at one end thereof, the hook being arranged to catch the striker during movement of the striker in the locked position of the second catch.

16. The locking system of claim 14 or 15, wherein the second catch, the pivot for the second catch and the striker are arranged such that the hook surface is located on a striker side of an imaginary plane passing through the pivot of the second catch and parallel to the pulling direction when the striker pulls the hook in the pulling direction.

17. The locking system of claim 7 or any preceding claim when dependent on claim 7, wherein the actuating member has a second latch cam adapted to engage a cam follower of the second latch to move the second latch to its locking position.

18. The locking system of claim 17, wherein the second latch cam and the cam follower of the second latch are provided with mating surfaces facing each other, a plane passing perpendicularly through the mating surfaces passing through or substantially through the center of rotation of the actuating member when the second latch is locked in the locked position by engagement of the second latch cam and cam follower; the mating surface may optionally be a radiused portion having a center located at the center of rotation of the actuating member.
