Question About Locking The Car & Running Utility Mode In Order To Download Updates

Sorry for the long subject title.

I understand that one can leave the car in utility mode and download the latest update.

If I lock the car from inside the car and close the windows, can I unlock the car with my digital key? Or would I need to use the manual key?

Thought I would check before trying it out. Many thanks.

If you swipe down on the screen Down, you will see the option for utility mode.
The first thing I did was switch off the climate control, turn off the radio if it’s on, select utility mode, then dim screen and lastly switch screen off.
Lock the car using the KIA app.
This is what I did & it works fine. The car will be locked, but the mirrors are out??
My one has been downloading for days, but this could be the Vodafone signal in my area.
Plus my app now keeps logging out,
Thanks. That's interesting. May give it a try if after a few weeks mine fails to complete the download.

As far as I can remember, it was 1%. There was nothing on and running, just the download. Obviously the car's system was active, but nothing else.
Tnx may well try it overnight. Reasonable sim signal in the car, even if it downloads halfway, that should speed things up.
