‘SAFELOCK - CHECK OWNER'S MANUAL’ message on MFD

[Robert]

Actions are not steps.
Each line (action) is an individual way of locking the vehicle.
First 2 "actions" allow to locking with SAFE-LOCK activated and remaining three with SAFE-LOCK disabled.

First press on the key button locks with safelock (deadlocks) enabled - door can not be opened from inside or out

press the lock button on the key again and the dead locks are released - door can not be opened from outside but can be opened from inside.

Snap....

Thanks all! I was reading those as sequential steps rather than alternate methods

I just went out to check and when I lock the van the LED in the drivers door by the lock button does not flash at all? Tried waiting but nothing.

My problem is that it does none of these - ie never lights up in any sequence

 

[Robert]

I guess somebody disconntected the LED when the door panel was removed and forgot to plug it back in?

Hi All,

Any advice appreciated. Please see attached photo. Message appears at ignition turn off.

My question, like me, is simple - What does this actually mean?

Many Thanks

Radar

It means when you lock the doors they will be deadlocked and unable to be opened from inside. Press the lock button on the key again to release the deadlock

There’s no such thing as a daft question
As you’ll see with the threads I’ve merged yours with above, it’s been asked before

My apologies. I assumed I was being so personally dense that no-one else would have this question. I did, in my defence, actually RTFM but afterwards I was none the wiser.

Thanks again.

Blimey. That was lightning fast. Many thanks.

I figured it was 'advice' rather than a 'warning' but I wish they didn't use capitals and ! marks.

I was aware of the deadlocking etc but not that the message related to that in an informational way.

Thanks again.

It’s like when you first buy a smartphone.. no manual, just expectations that you’ll understand their jargon!

The other thing to note (and I was too afraid to ask) is that when the instructions say "press again" - what they mean is quite quickly like you are double clicking a mouse button.

If you press the button, pause, press again then often it will just repeat the single button lock cycle.

As a bonus bit of info the same technique works should you need to physically lock the van with the key - a quick double lock will disable the deadlocks should you need to.
