-
Unfold the Key Bit:
- If your key fob includes a fold-out key, press the release button on the fob to unfold the metal key bit.
-
Insert the Key:
- Insert the key bit into the lock cylinder on the door.
-
Unlock the Vehicle:
- Turn the key to unlock the driver's door. The turn signals may flash twice to indicate the vehicle is unlocked.
-
Lock the Vehicle:
- Insert the key into the lock cylinder and turn it to lock the doors. The turn signals will flash once to confirm the vehicle is locked.

This manual method is especially useful if your key fob battery is dead or if there are issues with the electronic locking system. Regularly check your key fob battery to ensure optimal functionality and keep the manual key handy for emergencies.
