Your vehicle may be equipped with a func- tion permitting the separate locking of the trunk using the mechanical key. If present, this feature can permit you to deny any un- authorized person access to the trunk by locking the trunk separately and leaving the SmartKey less the 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 the trunk lid handle after the vehicle has been centrally unlocked with the SmartKey.
The lock is located next to the recessed handle.

Easy-entry/exit feature
With the easy-entry/exit feature activated, the steering wheel tilts upwards and the driver’s seat moves to the rear.
This allows easier entry into and exit from the vehicle when the driver’s door is opened. However, the engine must be turned off.
When the SmartKey is inserted in the start- er switch or you have pressed the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button once and the driver’s door is closed, the steering wheel and the driver’s seat return to their last set positions.
You can activate the following functions: 앫 Steering column:
Only the steering column is adjusted. 앫 Steering column and seat:
Both the steering column and the seat are adjusted.
The easy-entry/exit feature can be switched on or off in the convenience sub- menu of the control system (컄page 150).
Warning!
