When you lock the vehicle, both door lock buttons should move down. If any one stays up, the respective door is not properly closed. You should then unlock the vehicle, open and reclose this door, and lock the vehicle again. Each individual door can be locked with the respective door lock button - the driver's door can only be locked when it is closed. If the vehicle has previously been locked from the outside, only the door being opened from the inside will unlock, and the alarm will come on. The other door, the trunk, the storage compartment in armrest, and fuel filler flap remain locked. Notes: In case of a malfunction in the central locking system the doors can be locked and unlocked individually. To lock, turn key in driver's door lock to position 3 or push down lock buttons. To unlock, turn key in driver's door lock to position 2 or pull inside door handles.
