Volkswagen 1969 Model - Manual (Page 11)

Before closing the door
The doors can be closed more easily if a
window is opened slightly. 1 - Vent wing lock
To open the vent wing, turn knob of vent
wing fastener until locking catch points in
driving direction and push knob of vent
wing fastener forward.
2 - Window crank
3 - inside door handle
4 - Armrest and door closing grip
5- Locking knob
The doors cannot be opened from inside or
outside unless the locking knobs are raised.
When leaving the vehicle, just press the
locking knob down and pull the trigger in
the outer handle as you close the door.
The vehicle is then locked.
If the door closes by itself after the locking
knob has been depressed, it will not lock
because the locking knob will spring up
automatically. This is an additional safety
measure to prevent you from being locked
out if the door should slam shut while the
key is still inside the vehicle.
