My xsara a 1999 1.9 diesel non turbo will not lock the tailgate along with the four doors via the remote keyfob...I looked in the handbook and it said to put the key in the tailgate and withdraw it at 45 degrees but this has had no effect...Has anyone on here had a similar problem and if they have had how is it cured..
P.S I can hear the tailgate mechanism moving when I use the keyfob but the tailgate doesn't unlock using the keyfob I have to do that manually..
All advice appreciated..
Regards Seri

Re: Xsara central locking
I think, at least with my xanita, that you remove the key when in the horizontal position or the vertical position, depending on which does which. That would make it 90degrees between.
EDIT: Sorry, you're quite right, clockwise from vertical 45 degrees it is! However, that is to set it to key locking. You want to withdraw it when vertical for it to unlock with the doors.
