68Unlocking and lockingDoorsLocking and unlocking the vehicle
From the outside of the vehicle, the driver's door may be 
locked or unlocked using the key.When opened , the latch will rise up (for vehicles without central locking)
For vehicles equipped with electric windows and central locking, if the key is 
maintained in the opening position all of the electric side windows will open.
When locking  the latch will descend (for  vehicles without central locking)
In some vehicle models equipped with electric windows and central locking, 
if the key is maintained in the locking position on the driver side, any side 
windows left open, as well as the electric sunroof, will close.
For vehicles without central locking, the passenger door and the rear doors 
may be locked from the outside without using a key. Just press the button 
down and close the door.
The latch on the driver’s door may not be  pushed down while the door is open 
(only in vehicles without central locking) . This avoids accidentally leaving the 
keys in the ignition.

down (in vehicles without central locking).
