Tips & Tricks

  • Use the physical key from the key fob to manually unlock the doors when the battery is dead.
  • Fold the rear seat down to crawl into the hatch area and access the manual release.
  • A trim tool, key, credit card or similar flat object can be used to pop off the small cover at the bottom center of the hatch interior.
  • The manual release lever behind the cover only needs to be pulled by hand — no tools required.
