Doors and locks 
 
Your car is equipped with a two door operated central locking system.  
The key, used on either of the front doors, will lock/unlock all doors, trunk/tailgate and on certain 
models also the fuel tank cover. 
 
Turn the key once to unlock only the door in which the key is inserted.  
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors, trunk/tailgate and the fuel tank cover . 
 
One turn with the key towards lock in one of the front doors locks all doors, trunk/tailgate and fuel tank 
filler cap. 
 
WARNING! The doors should not be locked while driving. In case of an accident, this may hinder 
rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle. (Also see information on "Child safety locks". 
 
Use the switch on the instrument panel to lock/unlock the car from the inside. This button will only 
function when the doors are closed. 
 
Check the action of the buttons on the other doors to verify their correct function (lock/unlock). The 
driver's door can be locked only by using the key when outside the vehicle. On vehicles equipped with 
the optional remote control locking system, refer to the following page.
