6. ENTRY & COMFORT
CAUTION
Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Young children who get into
unlocked cars may be unable to get out. Always lock the car
whenever you leave it.
Central Door Locking (CDL)
The central door locking (CDL) operates on the driver's and
passenger's doors in conjunction with the security alarm system.
For full details of the alarm system, see page 22.

To open the doors from outside:

To unlock the doors from outside, press the central, unlock
button on the transmitter key. The first press will unlock just
the driver's door. Pause for a moment before pressing a second
time to unlock the passenger's door.
Lift the exterior door handle and pull open the door. A two
position spring loaded restraint mechanism will help to hold the
door open for convenience whilst entering or exiting the cabin,
but the door should be held by hand in windy conditions, or if the
car is parked on a slope.
When the door is opened, a fully closed window will drop
slightly, preparatory to easing its closing and sealing, and the
interior and footwell will be illuminated. If the driver's door is
opened whilst the ignition is off but the key is in position, or if the
exterior lights are switched on, an audible warning will sound.

To close the doors from inside:

CAUTION
Before closing a door, take care to avoid injury or damage by
ensuring that no persons or objects will be trapped.
From inside the car, pull the door firmly shut using the han-
dle towards the front of the door. On shutting, the window will
close automatically (unless open by request), and the footwell
illumination will be extinguished. The interior lamp will remain
lit for 2 minutes, or until the ignition is switched on.
