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.
Unlocking Using The Key
The driver's door can be locked and unlocked using the key blade which is normally retracted inside the remote control. This type of lock is also available on the passenger's door on the C70. On the C70, it is also possible to unlock and open the trunk lid from inside the passenger compartment. There is a lock cylinder in the storage compartment in the tunnel console that is mechanically directly connected to the locking function in the trunk lid. This is an extra solution should there be a fault in the system.
The lock cylinder on the driver's door has a cover. This cover must first be removed to expose the lock cylinder. This is done by inserting the mechanical key in a hole on the underneath of the cover and pulling out.
