CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
The central door locking system on four door models
is activated from both driver and front passenger
doors. A switch/lock actuator is fitted in both front
doors.
Front and rear passenger doors can be independently
locked or unlocked from inside vehicle but can be
overridden by further operation of driver’s door locking
control.
On rear doors only, a child safety lock is provided
which can be mechanically pre-set to render interior
door handles inoperative.
Failure of an actuator will not affect locking of
remaining three doors, tailgate or fuel filler flap. A door
with inoperative actuator can still be locked or
unlocked manually, but not fuel filler flap.
NOTE: Actuator units contain
non-serviceable parts. If a fault occurs, fit
a new unit.

NOTE: New handsets are supplied in pairs.
If a new handset is required, it will require
initialisation to the ECU using the
following procedure:

bonnet switch depressed.

10. Press and hold down button on first handset until
dash LED flashes.
