If there is a problem with the keyless entry system, there is a key cylinder in the driver’s
side door to insert the removable metal key from the end of the key fob into to unlock the
vehicle (Figure 18).

The design of the key proximity sensor system with this vehicle makes it virtually
impossible to lock your keys in the vehicle. After extensive attempts to lock keys inside
this vehicle we found the only way to do so was to have a dead battery in the key fob,
turn off the valet switch in the glove box for the power trunk release, then open the trunk
with the metal key and place the key inside the trunk. If someone actually locks their
keys in an IS-F vehicle, the recommended entry method would be to carefully wedge the
upper rear corner of the right front door away from the body and using a long reach tool,
unlock the door.
