C3 Central Locking

[greenr]

Hi

 

Does anyone know how to lock all the doors manually if the central locking fails or the battery runs out in the key fob?

I think at the side of each door there is a small round sticker covering a hole, use a key to turn inside here and it will lock. I would try one door first to see if this works. There may be something in the manual but I can not recall where I got this from.

Thanks for this - I'll have a look... this may sound like a stupid question but if i manually lock both the back doors by turning the little thing, will i then have to climb over to the back seat to unlock them again?

Have looked at my C3s and found how to lock the doors if the central system fails.

 

On the door body next to the lock there is either a black circular patch covering a circular opening (about 5p size) or an opening with what looks like a black plastic screw head in it.

 

With the door open, insert your ignition key into the cross and turn 1/4 turn and then remove the key. Now shut the door. The door will now be locked and the outer handle will not open the door.

 

This applies to the passenger doors front and rear. The drivers door has one of these and it also has a key hole to open the door.

 

To open the doors again operate the internal handle. NOTE that doing this will release the black plastic device and activate the outer handle again. To relock you have to turn the device again.
