In case of an emergency

If the electrical power door lock switch is not operating (for example, if the car battery is dead), the only way to lock the door(s) is with the mechanical key from the outside key hole.

Doors without an outside key hole can be locked as follows:

  1. Open the door.
  2. Insert a key or screwdriver into the emergency door lock hole and turn the key horizontally to lock position.

  3. Close the door securely.
    TIP

    If the electrical power to the door lock switch is not operating (for example, if the car battery is dead) and the liftgate is closed, you will not be able to open the liftgate until the power is restored.
