82 Opening and closing
Emergency manual locking
This permits mechanical locking of the doors in case of central locking sys-
tem failure.
Locking the driver door manually
Insert the key in the door lock cylinder and rotate in a clockwise direction for
the left hand side door and anticlockwise for the right hand side door.
Once the door has been closed it can no longer be opened from the outside.
Manual (emergency) locking of the remaining doors
Open the door and remove the cap
This will expose a circular element with a groove in the centre. Insert the key
into the groove and rotate the element clockwise for the right hand side
doors and anticlockwise for the left hand side doors.
Replace the cap and close the door. Once the door has been closed it can
no longer be opened from the outside.
Unlocking the manually (emergency) locked driver door
Insert the key in the door lock cylinder and rotate anticlockwise for the left
hand side doors and clockwise for the right hand side doors.

A
The door lock is released and the door may be opened using the exterior
door handle.
Unlocking the remaining manually (emergency) locked doors
First the driver door must be unlocked to gain entry to the vehicle. Operate
the internal door handle for the required door. If the childproof lock is acti-
vated on the rear doors, when the interior door release lever is operated the
door is unlocked but does not open. The door must be opened from the out-
side.
Note
Once the vehicle is open, if you wish to lock it manually (emergency lock-
ing), repeat the previous instructions.
Childproof lock
The childproof lock prevents the rear doors from being opened
from the inside. This system prevents minors from opening a door
accidentally while the vehicle is running.
