most recently used master key is in the lug­
gage compartment, the rear lid is automati­
cally unlocked again after it is closed.

and the rear lid are closed. In this way you
avoid locking yourself out accidentally.

dren, for example) from accidentally be­
ing locked in the vehicle should they acci­
dentally press the power locking switch

ployment all locked doors will be auto­
matically unlocked to give access to the
vehicle occupants from the outside .
