    Hello Ya'll,

    I have a bit of an odd question: Is there a way to lock all five doors (4 passenger doors and hatch) without using the smart key OR the keyfob? See, I'm an avid backpacker, so I like to leave the SKS off when I'm going out for 5-8 nights. My keyfob is broken, however, such that the lock and unlock buttons don't work, but the smartkey does. So with the smartkey off, I can manually lock the 4 passenger doors, but the hatch is still accessible. Anyone have any idea how I can lock all five doors without using the smartkey or the keyfob?

    Thanks,
    Eric

    Push the power lock button on one of the front doors.

    Or remove the metal key from the keyfob and use it to lock the doors (and hatch) from the keyhole outside on the driver's door.

    Have you replaced the fob battery? For $3 it might be back in business.

    Turn the manual metal key 2 times in the lock direction.
