Locking and unlocking with the
detachable key blade
Amongst other things, the detachable key
blade can be used to unlock the car from the
outside - e.g. if the remote control key's bat-
tery has become discharged.
Unlocking
Pull out the front door handle on the left-
9
hand side to its end position so that the
lock cylinder become visible.
Insert the key in the lock cylinder.
Turn clockwise 45 degrees so that the key
blade is pointing straight back.
Turn the key back 45 degrees to its star-
ting position. Remove the key from the
lock cylinder and release the handle so
that the rear section of the handle is rest-
ing against the car again.
9 This applies whether the car is right-hand drive or left-hand drive.
5. Pull out the handle.
> The door opens.
Locking will be performed in the same way,
but with an anticlockwise turn 45 degrees
instead of clockwise in step (3).

NOTE
When the door is unlocked using the key
blade and is then opened, the alarm is trig-
gered.

Locking
It is also possible to lock the car with the
remote control key's detachable key blade e.g.
in the event of a loss of power or if the key's
battery has become discharged.
The left-hand front door can be locked with its
lock cylinder and the detachable key blade.
Other doors have no lock cylinders and
instead have a lock switch on the end of each
door which must be depressed using the key
blade - they are then mechanically locked/
blocked to prevent them being opened from
outside.
The doors can still be opened from the inside.
* Option/accessory.
