The passenger door is fitted with a manual locking knob (indicated on the left) which can lock the door if the vehicle battery were to fail.

Simply slide the knob downward and close the door. It can not be opened from the outside.

In this position, the door can be opened from the inside by pulling the inside door handle twice.

The driver's door can then be locked with the key.

To remove the door panels, an additional torx screw at the rear of each panel needs to be removed in addition to the traditional fasteners.
