In certain situations (e.g., if there is no electri- cal current in the vehicle), the doors can belocked manually. The detachable key blade (p. 155) can be used in the lock cylinder in the driver's doorto lock that door. The other doors do not have lock cylinders and the slot on the rear edge of each doorhas to be used to lock it. This will lock thedoor from the outside but it can still beopened from inside the vehicle. To do so:
Manually locking a door
–Insert the key blade into the slot and turn it 90 degrees to lock that door (the slot ina particular door locks that door only).
In the horizontal position, the door cannot be opened from the outside.
