Deadlocked and flat batter

[Jecs]

VE don't have deadlocking...so unless hes locked the keys in it, he should just be able to put the damn key I the door lock and open it.

isnt dead locking:

1: lock with remote key
2: press lock 2nd time on remote key
3: insert key into door lock and turn to right.

id think it would be pretty stupid to remove this feature? if that is the case.

thats what i do on my VZ anyway, plus steering lock the steering when ever i go shopping in Melbourne.



EDIT: which back to OP's question, drawn nailed it. been in the same scenario and key to door locks will pop the drivers door open.

Well my post is gone. Oh well.

I basically said the same thing as Drawnnite. That the key should manually unlock the driver's door.

Obviously my first reply is meant as a joke. lol

The OP created two threads, you replied in both however one thread was deleted for obvious reasons.

VZ was the last to have dead locks. VE on haven't and don't have deadlocks.

I noticed that if you sit in your car ( VE) and push remote button once door lock but can be unlocked by filpping the snib on the door . Press button twice and doors are dead locked snib won't open

Are you sure? I had a 2006 (Calais), 2007 (Clubsport R8), 2008 (Calais V), 2011 (Calais) and 2012 (SSV) VE or VEII and not one of them had a deadlock feature. The interior "snib" would always unlock the locked car no matter how many times the lock button on the remote was pressed.

Actually now that I think about it I don't think I ever tested it in the VEII SSV. So I guess it might have been re-introduced. But when I queried the dealer about it years ago, they said it was a safety concern to have it so that's why it wasn't being continued from VZ to VE.

I read bulls..t from OP and everyone fell for it. He's just joined and asked a pretty brain dead question which everyone has rightly replied "use the key"

Yep just tried it again . Press once for lock twice for deadlock

Interesting. So sitting in the car, once for lock, twice for deadlock and then you can't roll the snip forwards or backwards to unlock? Or just open the door with the handle?
