Default Key Use

The key is used in the event of a battery failure to open the back hatch. A lock is located above the license plate.

It also locks the center console, and turns on/off the passenger airbag. Not sure if there is a lock on the gloce box...I can't remember. Also good for picking rocks out of the tread.

The aux starting is handled by placing the fob in a slot in the glove box.

Yes, there is a lock on the glove box also. Key also good for confusing friends who want to start the car. They start looking for the ignition lock.
