I just noticed a small button on the outside of the rear hatch (2021 Touring). It's to the right of the license plate a few inches. Anyone know the use? I pushed it and all I got was a continuous beep. Didn't find a single mention of it in the manual or when checking previous threads either. ???? Thanks
Thank! Looks like that’s it. I hadn’t run across that in the manual. After you mentioned the Pin Code, I googled it and saw this good video on how to program it too.
I have a 2019 Ascent Touring and it’s also another way to auto lock the car from the back hatch without having to touch one of the front door handles. We use it all the time!
Is it possible that you are describing the hatch "close and lock button" next to the hatch "close button" on the driver side of the gate? I did not know the pin code button on the passenger side locked anything, I've only used it for unlocking.
Instructions for programing it are on Page 125 of the manual. Don't worry about "screwing it up" the first time, you have to do it twice and the 5 digits must match.
Just like to point out that you shouldn't leave your keys in the car when hiking. We went hiking last week at and when we came back, someone in the parking lot had their car window smashed. Yup, anything they'd left in it had been taken. It's an neat feature for sure, but I'd not recommend leaving the key inside.
