If Trouble Arises

Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds

 Seat Belt Warning Beep

              If  the  driver's  seat  belt  is  not  fastened 
when the ignition is switched ON, a beep 
sound will be heard for about 6 seconds. If 
the driver or the front passenger's seat belt 
is not fastened and the vehicle is driven 
at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 
mph), a beep sound will be heard again for 
a specifi ed period of time.

   NOTE

y

  Placing heavy items on the front 

passenger seat may cause the front 
passenger seat belt warning function to 
operate depending on the weight of the 
item.

y

  To allow the front passenger seat weight 

sensor to function properly, do not place 
and sit on an additional seat cushion 
on the front passenger seat. The sensor 
may not function properly because the 
additional seat cushion could cause 
sensor interference.

y

  When a small child sits on the front 

passenger seat, it is possible that the 
warning beep will not operate.

 Ignition Not Switched Off (STOP) 

Warning Beep

              If  the  driver's  door  is  opened  while 
the ignition is switched to ACC, a 
continuous beep sound will be heard to 
notify the driver that the ignition has not 
been switched off (STOP). Left in this 
condition, the keyless entry system will 
not operate, the car cannot be locked, and 
the battery power will be depleted.

 Key Removed from Vehicle 

Warning Beep

                  A  beep  sound  will  be  heard  6  times  and 
the KEY warning light (red) will fl ash 
continuously if the ignition has not been 
switched off, all the doors are closed, and 
the key is removed from the vehicle. This 
is to notify the driver that the key has been 
removed from the vehicle and the ignition 
has not been switched off.

   NOTE

  Because the key utilizes low-intensity 
radio waves, the Key Removed From 
Vehicle Warning may activate if the key is 
carried together with a metal object or it 
is placed in a poor signal reception area.

 Request Switch Inoperable 

Warning Beep (With the advanced 
keyless function)

    If the request switch is pressed with a door 
open or ajar or the ignition has not been 
switched off while the key is being carried, 
a beep will be heard for about 2 seconds 
to indicate that the doors and the liftgate/
trunk lid cannot be locked.

 Key Left-in-luggage Compartment 

Warning Beep (With the advanced 
keyless function)

              If  the  key  is  left  in  the  trunk  with  all  doors 
locked and the trunk lid closed, a beep 
sound is heard for about 10 seconds to 
remind the driver the key has been left in 
the trunk. If this happens, open the trunk 
lid by pressing the electric trunk lid opener 
and remove the key. A key removed from 
the trunk may not function because its 
functions may have been temporarily 
suspended. To restore the key function, 
perform the applicable procedure (page 
 3-8 ).
