It's easier with power!  (And thank heavens for that, because neither
exterior lock cylinder works in the front..)

Exit via sliding door, hit the front passenger lock to get three of the
doors (driver, passenger, hatch), close the sliding door, and it locks
itself when you do so.

I'm waiting in apprehension for the day the little <whirrr-clunk> noise of
the slider's power lock is accompanied by a sinking feeling and a call to
the locksmith, rather than a bemused "Isn't that the cutest noise ever?"
