In cars with central locking, or remote locking, a solenoid is fitted to the locking mechanism. When the remote button is pressed (usually on the key) a signal is sent to the central locking control system. The received signal closes an electronic gate in the controller and current from the cars battery is switched to the solenoid on the lock. The force generated locks or unlocks the door as required.

How do you lock the doors of a 1999 Mercedes SL500 once you are in the car do you just press the door button down?

On the inside door lever, you'll see a smaller lever above. Push that little lever down, that will lock both doors. This makes it nearly impossible to lock your keys inside your car. I think there were some models that had a door lock switch on the center console...but I doubt you have that model. And...there are no door button on SL's. Are you sure you have an SL? And one more thing...don't forget to get rid of that cat in the back seat.

Your alarm system is in valet mode. To fix this problem: Unlock the car, and open the door. With the door open, and the car unlocked, press: LOCK/UNLOCK button ONCE, press the AUX button ONCE, and then press the LOCK/UNLOCK button ONCE more. When you press this key combination, the vehicle security system should begin functioning correctly again.


What is safe lock on seat ibiza?

Safe lock is the mechanism that stops the doors being unlocked from inside (after breaking a window...). Only the key can open it. You want to disable this if you choose to lock the car when there is still somebody in the car. Check your manual, but on my Leon I press the lock button then press and hold it again, until the indicators flash. Then the car is locked from outside, but I can still get out (but then that door is left UNLOCKED) .
