Depending on vehicle production date, your
vehicle may be equipped with a feature that per-
mits separate locking and unlocking of the trunk
with the mechanical key. If present, this function
can permit you to deny any unauthorized person
access to the trunk, e.g. when you valet park the
vehicle. You can lock the trunk separately with
the mechanical key and leave only the SmartKey
less its mechanical key with the vehicle.
To verify the presence of this feature, use the
mechanical key to lock the trunk and then
attempt to open the trunk by pulling on the trunk
lid handle after the vehicle has been centrally
unlocked with the SmartKey.

You can only cancel the separate trunk
locking mode by means of the mechanical key.
