Your vehicle is supplied with two
kinds of key.
1. Master keyÐThis key works in ev- ery lock.
2. SubkeyÐThis key will not work in the glovebox.
To protect things locked in the glove-
box when you have your vehicle
parked, leave the subkey with the at-
tendant.
Since the doors can be locked with-
out a key, you should always carry a
spare master key in case you acci-
dentally lock your keys inside the ve-
hicle.
