I assume you meant "85" 300CD...

1) if the door locks work well for 5 or 6 turns with the engine off, theyre good.
2) if you turn on the economy button on the climate control and don't feel air blowing out the defroster vent, its probably good.
3) with the engine running and doors closed, try to fold the seats foward, if they dont move, the seat locks work good
4) if the car shuts off right away when you turn the key off, its good.

if you have a tester, test the systems in various conditions at the main spliter at the firewall.
