Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems
The passenger compartment doors and hood are
of the conventional latch to striker design.
The door latches are operated by the
conventional actuating rod system connected to
the exterior door handles and the door latch
remote controls, with the front door latches also
connected to the door lock cylinders.
The door latch remote controls have a single
lever to lock, unlock and open the doors from the
interior.
A cable operates the hood latch and release
handle. On vehicles equipped with central
locking, actuators supplement the door latches
and the fuel filler flap. The door latch actuators
are mounted directly onto the individual latch
assemblies while the fuel filler flap actuator is
mounted onto the vehicle body from inside the
luggage compartment.
The door and fuel filler cap lock cylinders may be
overhauled using a service kit which consists of a
lock housing, tumbler magazine, tumbler set,
barrel return spring, operating lever and a sachet
of grease. For additional information,
refer to
Door Lock Cylinder in this section.
