Emergency unlocking or locking of
the driver’s door
Fig.75 Driver’s door handle: lock cylinder.
If the central locking system should fail to op-
erate, the driver's door can still be locked and
unlocked by turning the key in the lock.
As a general rule, when the driver's door is
locked manually all other doors are locked.
When it is unlocked manually, only the driv-
er's door opens. Please observe the instruc-
tions relating to the anti-theft alarm system
›››page101.
●
Remove the key blade from the vehicle key
›››page93.
●
Insert the key blade into the lock cylinder to
unlock or lock the vehicle.
The key blade is inserted by pointing the grip
towards the rear door (the entire key blade en-
ters the cylinder in this position).
Special characteristics
●
The anti-theft alarm will remain active when
vehicles are unlocked ›››page101.
●
After the driver's door is opened, you have 15
seconds to switch on the ignition (depending
on the market). Once this time has elapsed,
the alarm is triggered.
●
Switch the ignition on. The electronic immo-
bilizer recognises a valid vehicle key and deac-
tivates the anti-theft alarm system.
Note
The anti-theft alarm is not activated when
the vehicle is locked manually using the key
blade ›››page97.
Emergency lock of doors without
lock cylinders
Fig.76 Locking the door manually.
If the central locking system fails or the vehi-
cle's battery goes at, doors with no lock cylin-
der will have to be locked separately.
The emergency lock is located on the front of
the front passenger's door and the rear doors.
It can only be seen if the door is open.
●
If necessary, remove the rubber seal from
the front of the door ›››Fig.76.
●
Insert the key in the inside slot and turn it to
the right as far as it will go (if the door is on the
right side) or to the left (if the door is on the
left side).
●
Replace the cap.
Once the door has been closed it can no lon-
ger be opened from the outside. Pull the inte-
rior door handle once to unlock and open the
door.
