Locking and unlocking
Keys
The car has two types of physical keys – the standard key and the key tag.
Locking and unlocking with the key
The buttons on the key can be used to lock and unlock all doors and the tailgate simultaneously.
Unlocking the tailgate with a key
It is possible to unlock just the tailgate using a button on the key.
Locking and unlocking with the detachable key blade
The removable key blade can be used to unlock the car from the outside – if there is no power to your car or the key battery is discharged, for example.
Automatic locking when driving
When the car starts to drive, the doors and tailgate are locked automatically for safety reasons.
Double lock
Double lock means that all opening handles are released mechanically when locking from the outside, which makes it impossible to open the doors from the inside.
Locking and unlocking from inside the car
The doors and tailgate can be locked and unlocked from inside using the central locking controls in the driver's door.
Unlocking the tailgate from the inside of the car
The tailgate can be unlocked from inside by pressing the button on the instrument panel.
Locking and unlocking
The car can be locked and unlocked in several different ways.
Activating and deactivating the child lock
The child lock prevents the rear doors being opened from inside.
Lock confirmation
The car indicates with hazard warning flashers when the car is locked or unlocked.
Locking and unlocking settings
Settings for locking and unlocking can be adjusted as required in the centre display.

Activate Digital Key
