Help! Are there any Autosleeper van owners that can help with the following?
We've just downsized to a Kemerton XL which we like very much, however at night we can't seem to get the van doors and sliding van door to lock whist in the van at night. Are we being dumb to an obvious solution? We've pressed the central locking on the drivers side and the sliding door locked but not the cab doors. We're flummoxed!
Appreciate any advice please.
Currently on fantastic site in Glastonbury, a bit late or early for the festival next year 😄
 
You will have a Peugeot, so if it is the same set up as a Fiat Ducato, there may be a button located on the line of buttons below the heater controls with a lock symbol on it. Pressing that button locks all of our doors from the inside.

No unfortunately we don't have that symbol

The lock button should be next to your hazard light switch.

What we have found:-
From the outside unlock the doors using the key fob - ensure all the doors are actually opened.
Inside the vehicle, close all the doors then use the central dash or drivers door switches to lock.
Open from the inside using the dash or drivers door switch!
Good luck! Took us a while to get used to it!

That button should be giving you a nice slow flash when you are all locked securely.
A rapid flash indicating a door is not properly closed.
It's usually the sliding door not closed properly hence the slam (sorry).
If you go out of the van through the sliding door which you can open from the inside even when locked take your keys with you.

Thank you, we are trying not to be those annoying sliding door slammers! 👍

We don’t slam our sliding door. From the outside slide it slowly to close then press on the rear of the door where the catch is, not the front where there’s nothing.

I’ve fitted a handle at the rear of the door on the inside so we can close it without slamming it.
