Rat Key
The flat key fits all vehicle
locks. We recommend that
you carry the flat key with
you and keep it in a safe
place so that it is always
handy, if needed (e.g. in your wal­
let). Never leave the flat key in the
vehicle.
Master Key - square headed - fits
all locks on the car.
Supplementary Key - rounded
head - fits only the door locks and
the steering lock. This key is inten­

lock glove compartment and trunk
with the master key.
