The passenger compartment doors are of a conventional lock to striker plate design with the strikers located on the B pillars.
The hood, load space and sliding side door striker plates locate into latches positioned on the vehicle body.
The hood can only be opened by using the ignition key in the hood lock cylinder. To open the hood:
- Turn the key fully to the left, this releases the hood onto the safety catch.
- Turn the key fully to the right, this allows the hood to open.
- Turn the key back to the central position and remove the key.
NOTE:The ignition key must be removed after opening the hood to avoid accidental breaking the key by knocking against it while working in the engine compartment.
The door latch mechanisms are operated by a conventional actuating rod and cable system connected to the inner and outer latch handles.
On higher specification models a power lock system is integrated into the original locking system, this system consists of power door lock switches, power door lock actuators, circuit wiring and protection.
On models with a power lock system only one lock barrel is fitted, this is located on the driver door. All remaining doors are fitted with blanking plugs and unlock simultaneously with the driver door.
The sliding side door can be a combination of left or right hand side with either twin opening rear doors or a tailgate.
The door handle and latch are removed from the inside of the door panel. The handle and latch cannot be removed separately, they must be removed as a complete unit and then separated.
