General Panda petrol door

[BCD]

I've just noticed that the door you open to get to the petrol cap doesn't lock.................or at least it doesn't on mine. Is this the norm?

 

[Stu DemonD]

Yes, that is normal.

Order a locking fuel cap from your dealership, although you will have to use another key.

I nabbed one of fleabay

This is the only gripe I've got with the Panda. Oh, that and the fact that you can't lock the doors once you are inside!

You just push the leading edge of the door handle towards the door to lock the car from inside (Like in a Ford).

:yeahthat:, means they unlock when you pull the handle to get out, one of Fiat's good ideas

Like the other great idea, if the wipers are on and you choose reverse the back wiper kicks in

I don't follow, you see this as a problem?

If they don't all unlock, it's a pain in the ass to get passengers in when you go kerbcrawling ... I mean picking up .... oh, you know what I mean

I just plip the remote when I'm in the car to lock it..oh and plip it again to unlock it ..

You forgot the folding ignition key

 

[DavePanda100]

Even better is set the computer to autolock the doors once you start driving...

 

[HP]

Only works on our high end models

No. Why?, lol.

Does the Panda have double locking (dead lock) remote central locking? If so I wouldn't do the above because you won't get out in an emergency, or with failiure of the system

 

[HP]

The way you put the on it made it look like you disapproved, s'all.

Nope, no deadlocks.

O, lol, I do funny things like that

Nope, no deadlocks.

O, fair enough

I've set my Panda to automatically lock the doors when I drive off!

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

I've set my Panda to automatically lock the doors when I drive off!

My mk2 does that automatically aswell. Locks the doors the first time I brake after driving off, and unlocks them when I turn the ignition off.

Do the mk3's lock the doors after a cartain speed in reached? and when do they unlock the doors?

It's a bit of a gripe, but anyone who's on the rob for fuel should know better than to tap into a Panda's tank as it only holds about three and a half cupfulls when full!

Very good, but from personal experience it's still over 30 squid for them cups and no light fingered Larry is gonna nick my jungle juice !!!:slayer::slayer::slayer:

15mph IIRC. I can't remember when they unlock which probably means that they unlock when you open the door at the end of the journey.
