How do you unlock the car?
« on: 06 September 2010, 23:11:52 »
Facelift, driving with the window down I managed to push down the door lock, it would not pull back up, I had to press the button on the key, is this right?

No, I tried that ::) Just read the handbook and it says to pull up the door knob, which will not lift up..... ::) ::) Might just have to try harder, or have I missed something..... :D

Sounds the same as mine - the entire door needs dismantling and the locking mechanism sorting out as I can't actuate the door locks without pounding on them with my fist.. can you push yours down from inside the car?

The locks push down with no problem just will not pull up, also you can push it down and lock with the door open, the manual suggest that this can not be done....think this might be an electrical problem.... :-/

Aye most cars have a safety feature prevent you locking the door when its open so you don't lock your keys in, actuator is probably sticking,
