The vehicle can be locked and unlocked in vari-ous ways and there are several types of remotekeys that can be used.

Locking/unlocking/opening/closing
The vehicle can be locked/unlocked from thepassenger compartment, using the buttons onthe remote key or by using the optional PassiveEntry system where it is only necessary to have akey in your possession to lock or unlock thedoors.
On models equipped with a power tailgate*, it canalso be opened/closed by moving your footunder a sensor* beneath the rear bumper.
If for any reason a remote key does not functionproperly, it may be necessary to replace its bat-teries but the vehicle can always be locked orunlocked manually using the remote key'sdetachable key blade.
