Central locking is, of course, managed through the key remote, so the latter, unless there are problems with the control unit, is the main culprit in case we notice anomalies in the opening and closing of the vehicle. However, excluding the battery, making sure it is charged before thinking the remote is broken, we can try to perform a reset of the central locking system in question by disconnecting and reconnecting the appropriate fuse.

So let's open the fuse box, located on the right end of the dashboard, identify the aforementioned fuse with the help of the fuse diagram and perform the specified actions.
