The ID transmitter has one button for locking and one for unlocking the vehicle. There is a separate button for unlocking the trunk. Pressing the trunk symbol button triggers automatic closing/opening of the trunk. Automatic closing requires the automatic trunk actuation option.
The ID transmitter contains a battery which lasts up to four years.
