Closing Doors with a Flat Battery

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Key

If the vehicle's battery is flat, you can manually close the doors by directly activating the locks. The driver's door handle has a lock that can be closed with the key. For the other doors, follow these steps: once the door is open, locate the keyhole inside the lock, insert the key into this slot to engage the lock; then close the door and check that it is secure. Repeat the same process for the other three doors.
