There is also a rubberised button under the boot hatch's handle which you can press to unlock the car.  
Note  
Make sure to only touch one of the touch-sensitive areas on the door handle at a time, either the one for locking or the  
one for unlocking. If you grip the handle while touching the lock surface, the keyless function might not work properly.

Note  
If you lock the car while a key is still inside, that key is temporarily deactivated. If anyone is inside the car when this  
happens, they will still be able to open the doors. The locked-in key will be activated again when you unlock the car  
with another valid key.  
If you press the lock button with the boot hatch still open, make sure you don't leave the key inside the car when you  
close the hatch. If the car detects that the key is still inside, the boot will not lock.  
Unlocking the car  
Press once on the unlocking button.  
The car unlocks.

The alarm is disarmed.  
Note  
Automatic relocking  
If you don't open any of the doors or the boot hatch for a couple of minutes after unlocking, the car relocks automat-  
ically so that you don't accidentally leave it unlocked.  
Unlocking the boot hatch  
Press once on the boot hatch button.

The alarm remains armed on the side doors.

to lock or unlock the car.
