Malfunctions
Read and observe and on page 53 first.
Fault with the central locking
If the warning light in the driver's door initially flashes quickly for around 2 sec-
onds, and then lights up for 30 seconds without interruption before flashing
again slowly, you will need to seek the assistance of a specialist garage.
If the central locking system has failed, only the driver's door can be
locked/unlocked using the key. The other doors and the boot lid can be man-
ually locked or unlocked.
