Default Can't close european crossfire without remote

I bought a 2004 Crossfire in good condition but without remote key. When I close the left door with the key the central locking system doesn't work but it locks only the left door. I thought there was a problem, but I found in the service manual that it's normal in the european crossfire. How can I close the liftgate while the new key with remote isn't arrived?
Sorry for my english, I'm italian.
Thanks

Did you try the button on the switches panel before you exit your vehicle?

OK, I tried this with my XF, I had thought when you use your key it only locked the drivers door. Anyway this solution didn't work so I have another question. Does the passenger door and trunk lock when you use the door lock switch on the dash? Please come back after you try this ok?

Thanks but I tryed it yet.
The button on the switches panel works and locks doors and trunk but when I open the door for exit the car, it unlocks everything.

You have a problem with the driver side lock, locking the door with key with the passenger side and lift gate open should cause the open doors to lock as well.
There is a switch on this lock that triggers the locking pump to work. It is an electrical switch so there is the possibility that a fuse (#25 or #26) has blown, this problem has been reported here once before. It has a connector and it may be loose as well.

I thought it too, but then I saw there are no wires from the driver side lock. In the service manual section Power Locks electrical diagnostics 8N-29 page 954 there is the driver cylinder lock switch but there is written ALL EXCEPT EUROPE!
I don't know why!

I have a UK Owners manual and it says the key in the drivers door lock will operate all locks, so I am lost for words here, sorry.
