when it is closed. If the vehicle has previously been
locked from the outside, only the door being opened
from the inside will unlock, and the alarm will come on.
The other door, the rear liftgate/decklid, fuel filler door,
and center console (roadster only) will remain locked.
NOTE:In case of a malfunction in the central locking
system, the doors can be locked and unlocked individu-

WARNING!
Your motorized door or gate will open and close
while you are programming the universal trans-
