Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to activate and deactivate the automatic door locking on the Opel Meriva version B. When driving, it is very useful to keep all doors closed by locking them automatically from the inside, for added safety while travelling long distances, but also more so in the city, when we stop at traffic lights and do not know who might open the doors from outside to steal what we have in the car, while we, occupied with driving, cannot defend ourselves from these attacks.

Therefore, it is advisable to lock all doors, which you can easily do with the button located on the centre console, to the left of the hazard lights button.

Pressing it will activate the locking of all four doors, which can only be opened from the inside. Pressing it again will deactivate this function.
