Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Standard Locking Function
The standard locking function unlocks the side doors and activates the lock motor in the trunk lid/tailgate when the lock button is pressed. The trunk lid/tailgate can then be opened. On the C70 it also unlocks the storage compartments and the lock for the ski hatch. Unlocking can be carried out using the button on the remote control or by using the key blade in the driver's door lock cylinder. There are two settings:
- total
- 2 stage.
Total unlocking unlocks all doors at the same time. The American market has 2 stage unlocking. The driver's door unlocks on the first press of the unlock button on the remote control. On the C70 the storage compartments and ski hatch unlock as well. Press the button again within 10 seconds and the other doors unlock. When unlocking a 2 stage system with the key, the key must be turned counter-clockwise twice for all doors to unlock.
