Kia Cee'd: Door locks / Deadlocks

To lock the vehicle using the deadlock function, the doors must be locked by using the transmitter or smart key. To unlock the vehicle, the transmitter or smart key must be used again.
WARNING
Do not lock the doors with the transmitter or the smart key with anybody left in the vehicle.The passenger in the vehicle cannot unlock the doors with the door lock button. For example, if the door is locked with the transmitter, the passenger in the vehicle cannot unlock the door without the transmitter.
