DOORS AND LOCKS
External – Fig. 3
The
De Lorean is equipped with a central
locking system which locks or unlocks both
doors simultaneously. The locking or
unlocking of one door will automatically lock
or unlock the other.
To unlock, insert the key and turn it to the
rear of the car, return it to vertical position
and withdraw. Lift the external release
handle and raise door to its maximum
height. Due to the gull-wing design, caution
should be exercised when entering or exiting
the vehicle.
To close, pull the door down and continue to
close the door by placing a hand on the
window sill directly below the power window
glass. Do not attempt to close the door by
exerting pressure at the front edge as this
could result in a ‘sprung’ door requiring
adjustment and possible repair.
Internal – Fig. 4
To unlock door from the inside press the
front of the door lock switch in the armrest,
lift the lever also located in the armrest and
raise the door to the fully open position. To
close from inside pull the door firmly
downwards with the assist bar located in the
lower portion of the armrest.
Locking Storage Compartment – Fig. 5
The locking storage compartment is located
behind the driver’s seat.
Take care not to leave keys in the car.
