Locking and unlocking using the key buttons

You can use the buttons on the standard key and Care Key to lock or unlock the vehicle, including the fuel filler flap.

 Tip

Pressing the key buttons once controls the locking and unlocking behaviors. Pressing and holding the different buttons controls different features related to opening and closing, such as opening the trunk and automatic window closing. You can learn more about these features in the relevant section of the manual.

Locking the vehicle

Close the driver's door and press the lock button.

The vehicle locks. Any open doors or hatches will be locked once you close them.

The alarm is armed.

 Note

If you lock the vehicle while a key is still inside, that key is temporarily deactivated. It will be activated again when you unlock the vehicle with another valid key.

If you press the lock button with the trunk hatch still open, make sure you don't leave the key inside the vehicle when you close the hatch. If the vehicle detects that the key is still inside, the trunk will not lock.

Unlocking the vehicle

Press the unlock button once.
The vehicle unlocks.
The alarm is disarmed.

 Note

Automatic relocking

If you don't open any of the doors or the trunk hatch for a couple of minutes after unlocking, the vehicle relocks automatically so that you don't accidentally leave it unlocked.

Unlocking the trunk hatch

Press once on the trunk hatch button.

The trunk unlocks.

The alarm remains armed on the side doors.

If the key isn't working

If the vehicle doesn't respond to the key's buttons, try changing the key battery. As a backup, you can use the detachable key blade to lock or unlock the vehicle.
