This permits mechanical locking of the doors in case of cen-
tral locking system 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.

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.
