Locking and unlocking with detachable key blade
The detachable key blade can be used to unlock the vehicle from outside, for example if the vehicle has no electrical current or if the key's battery is discharged.
Unlocking
Push the button and pull out the driver's door handle until the locking cylinder is visible.
Put the key in the lock cylinder.
Turn clockwise 45 degrees.
Turn the key blade back 45 degrees to its original position. Remove the key from the lock cylinder and release the handle.
Pull the door handle.
The door will open.
Disarming the alarm and starting the vehicle
Note
When the door is unlocked using the detachable key blade and then opened, the alarm will be triggered.
Turn off the alarm by:
Place the key on the key symbol in the backup reader in the bottom of the cupholder in the tunnel console.
Turn the start knob clockwise and release it.
The alarm signal will stop and the alarm will switch off.
Locking
The doors have a lock mechanism in the side of the door that must be pushed in using the key blade. The door will then be locked mechanically and cannot be opened from the outside.
The doors can still be opened from inside.
Remove the detachable key blade from the key. Insert the key blade into the opening for the lock mechanism and push the key in as far as possible, about 12 mm (0.5 in).
 | The door can be opened from both the outside and the inside. |
 | The door cannot be opened from the outside. To return to position A, open the door using the inside door handle. |
The doors can also be unlocked by pressing the unlock button on the key or the central lock button in the driver's door.
Note
The door's lock controls only lock that specific door, not both doors simultaneously.
