You can find the manual lock right where you would expect it on the driver’s side. The reason you might not know it exists is because there is a cap over it. All you have to do is pry it off, and there’s a convenient slot under the cap where you can insert the key from underneath. Unlock your door the old-fashioned way, and you’re ready to go. Wait! But what about push-button start? You’ll be happy to know you have a secret plastic back up key located in the fob. A button on the side of the fob will reveal a key ring you can pull out. You can insert the fob into the ignition to start your vehicle, or if you have push-button start you may need to hold the fob against the steering column and then push the button.
