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

ter key
or Convenience key* until all doors
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
