INTRODUCTION
Designed for the US market, this kit will open a comprehensive range of European and Japanese cars too. Supplied in a vinyl pouch.
CONTENTS
This kit consists of several tools to enable the emergency unlocking of vehicles. As the locks of the vehicles in question will be of an unknown design, it will be a process of elimination and experience to pick the correct tool for the vehicle. These instructions can only outline the uses of the various tools and no specific vehic le application list is supplied.
Slide Lock Tool (fig.1)
This tool can be used to hook onto the connecting linkage rods inside the door. Carefully insert a wedge between the window and door surround and slide the tool down into the door space about 10cms. Twist it through 90° so the hook is facing outwards. Remove the wedge. Lower the tool so that it touches the linkage rod. Move the tool until you can feel the linkage rod fit into the hook. Twist the tool to grip the linkage rod and move the linkage rod to open the lock.
Wire S Hook
Similar to the Slide Lock tool in operation and use. For hooking under linkage/rod or pushing linkage/rod down.
Wonder Tool
This tool can be used to reach inside the vehicle and move the door handle or
locking switch. The tool may need to be adjusted width wise to fit the door,
by bending A inwards. Carefully insert a wedge between the window and door
surround and slide the tool down into the door space until loop (B) is below
the window glass. remove the wedge. Twist the tool through about 20-30°
(just enough so that it is inside the glass) and lift the tool upwards slowly,
easing the tool past the inside rubber seal. Once the end of the tool (A) has
cleared the door capping, turn the tool so that it is at 90° to the window and
move the tool down to engage (A) with the handle or switch to open the lock.
Thin Bar and Wide Bar
These bars are used in a similar way to the Slide Lock tool, for hooking onto the linkage rods or manipulating the door lock lever. They are useful where space is very limited. As they are flat bladed, they cannot be twisted in use, but may need to be bent to be used.
Plastic Strap
This is useful for older vehicles which have flat topped door locking buttons. Push the loop of the strap past the rubber door seal and using the two strap ends, manouvre the loop down over the door button. Once positioned, pull the loop tight, then pull the strap upwards and lift the button up.
Wedges
Use to open up a small gap between the window glass and the rubber seal, to enable the tools to slide in more easily.
Fuel Cap Key
Work the key in and out of the lock several times, jiggling it up and down at the same time. It may be necessary to try using both ends of the key to see which one fits best.
