Central Lock System

The  central  lock  system  enables 

the front  passenger  door,  the  fuel 
tank filler flap and  the  trunk  lid  to 

be  locked  or  unlocked  together 

with  the  driver’s  door.  When  locking 

or unlocking,  the  locking  levers  on 

both  doors  must  move  simul­

taneously.  If one  locking  lever fails 
to  do  so,  the  lock  of that  particular 
door is  not  properly  engaged.  The 
door must then  be  opened  and 
closed  correctly.

With  the  central  lock  system  in  the 

locked  position,  the front  passenger 

door can  be  locked  and  unlocked 
either with  the  locking  lever or with 
the  key.

Actuation  of the  locking  lever on 
the front  passenger door,  however, 

is  not  possible  when  the  central 
lock system  is  in  the  unlocked 
position.

The trunk  lid  can  also  be  unlocked 

separately by turning the master key 
counterclockwise to  the  stop.  Push

the  trunk  lock  button  in  with  it  and 
lift  the  lid.  Return  the  key to  its  ini­

tial  position  and  withdraw  it.  To  lock 
the  lid,  close  it firmly.  It  will  then 

be  locked  again  by the  central  lock 

system.

A  provision  has  been  made  to  faci­

litate  permanent  locking  of the 

trunk  lid  for  positive  prevention  of 
access to trunk  by  unauthorized 

persons.

Before  leaving  vehicle  with  an 

attendant,  lock trunk with  master 

key  (square  head)  by turning  key 

clockwise  to  stop  (tumbler slot  ver­

tical),  then  provide  attendant  with 

round-headed  supplementary  key. 

Thus,  the  trunk  lock  has  been  ex­

cluded  from  the  operation  of the 
central  lock  system  and  cannot  be 

opened  except  with  the  square­

headed  master  key,  that  you  keep 

in  your  possession.

To  reverse  this,  turn  trunk  lock 

counterclockwise  back to  horizontal 
position  of the  tumbler slot with 
master  key.  Lock will  then  be  reen­
gaged  in  central  lock  system;  that 

is,  it will  automatically  be  locked  or 
unlocked  depending  on  whether 

the  driver’s  door  is  locked  or  un­

locked.

The  central  lock  system  operates 

on  vacuum  generated  by the  en­
gine.  A  reservoir allows the  central 

lock  system  to  be  actuated  about 

five times  after the  engine  is turned 
off.  If the  system  can  then  no 

longer  be  engaged,  idle  engine  for 

a  short  period.

If  no  vacuum  is  available,  doors  and 

trunk  have to  be  locked  individually 
with  the  key.  The  fuel  tank filler flap, 

however,  remains  unlocked.

Note:

If the  filler flap  cannot  be  opened 
when  the  central  lock  system  is  un­

locked,  refer to  “Unlocking  of the 

Filler  Flap”  (page  70).
