Hello,

 

I have a '04' 2.0 Diesel Auto C8 which I love but it does have its quirks.

 

Does anyone know how to switch off the child lock on the sliding rear doors. I have the owners manual which shows a switch to be operated on each door but there is no switch in the location indicated, just a blanking gromment.

 

When the door release fitted to the pillar for rear seat passengers to use is pressed, all that happens is that you get 3 beeps.

 

The local Citroen dealer has no idea!

 

Thanks in advance. :(

Hello

i had this issue on my last C8, that was an 03 exclusive.

On the drivers door there are the buttons for all the 4 front windows.

Next to the buttons there is another button, it is supposed to be the window lock button for the rear doors.

My rear doors would only open on the button on the pillar if the window button was up, windows not locked, and the button above the rear view mirror was not selected for automatic locking

It does not mention of that in the handbook.

I now have an 07 car and the buttons on the pillars work every time.

It makes no sense does it.

Did not work Stephen, tried all combinations I could think of with the buttons you mention & there was no effect on the sliding doors. The information may well be of use to some other puzzled C8 owner though.

 

I wonder if anyone else out there has any other ideas?

not sure if you sorted the problem and it is a year later, but to activate and deactivate the child locks on the rear doors you need to hold the lock button situated above the rear view mirror in between the two buttons to open and shut the rear doors. hope this helps lol.

this was the problem for me I pressed what I thought was the window lock button to stop the children messing and then the door buttons in the back stopped working took me for ever to suss but In the end just pressed the button again and the doors worked fine.
