Manual locking and unlocking
Driver door handle
In addition to opening and closing, the driver door handle also controls overall access to the car when certain settings are enabled.
There are two touch points on the handle: the inner part and the small indentation on the side nearest the door pillar. The inner part of the handle is used to open the door. This touch point can also unlock the door.

The indentation marks where the driver can place their thumb or fingers to lock the door.
Button panels
When inside the car, you can lock and unlock it using the buttons on the armrest between the front seats. The lock and unlock symbols are visible on the buttons.

Tip
The child lock controls are manual and not available in the display.
If the car won't lock, check that all the doors are properly closed.
Important
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the car is locked, even when automatic functions are enabled.
Car thieves can use frequency jamming to interfere with key functions and prevent cars from locking. When you leave your car, always check that the driver door is locked.
