no charge, or the vehicle key battery is al-
most or entirely out of charge, you will prob-
ably not be able to lock or unlock the vehi-

hicle can be unlocked and locked manually

displayed in the Digital Cockpit. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal
interferes with the key signal or if the key is
covered by another object, e.g. a metal case.
