Hi I,m new here. I got my citigo in september and have noticed that the manual key doesn't open all 3 doors when i turn it in the drivers door, but it works fine when i use the remote locking and the remote locking key in the door. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi just a quick note i tried the key on the electronic key fob and that doesnt work either, well at least not until the ignition has been switched on and you hear a relay of some sort being set off

The manual lock is not connected to the central locking ECU, so will only open the door its used in. Which key it is does not matter, the result is the same.

So this is supposed to happen?

Yes

sorry to keep on about this, but why then does it do it after the ignition has been switched on?

That is a safety feature.

The doors should be openable from inside in the event of an accident.

but i can use the key to open it manually from the outside

If you have an accident and are unconscious in the car, you would not be capable of doing that.

The feature is to allow the emergency service access.

Obviously, if the car Is too badly damaged to open the doors then the big snippers come into play

I hope it never comes to it, mind.
