Telos surface question

I am replaying kotor II and am currently on the surface before you reach the mercenary base. The first two groups you run into are surrounded by landspeeders that when you click on them say “The vehicles controls appear to be Code-locked. You can’t use it.”

I was wondering if anyone knows if they are intractable in any way or if this is just flavor text.

I have tried using stealth and seeing if I could hack them to explode or something along those lines but it just puts you out of stealth and gets Atton killed 6v1 by some mercs lol
