How do I lock the doors if central locking fails?

  2. Use the key to turn the emergency locking knobs on the other three doors counterclockwise to the locked position, then close the doors.
  3. All doors are then locked and cannot be opened with the exterior door handles.
  4. Use only enough force to avoid distorting or breaking the key.
