Before Driving

Doors and Locks

     Door  Locks

WARNING

  Always take all children and pets with 
you or leave a responsible person with 
them:

  Leaving a child or a pet unattended in 
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot 
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle 
can become high enough to cause 
brain damage or even death.
  

  Do not leave the key in your vehicle with 
children and keep them in a place where 
your children will not fi nd or play with 
them:

  Leaving children in a vehicle with the 
key is dangerous. This could result in 
someone being badly injured or even 
killed. 
  

  Keep all doors locked when driving:

  Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle 
are dangerous. Passengers can fall out 
if a door is accidentally opened and 
can more easily be thrown out in an 
accident.
  

  Always close all the windows and 
moonroof, lock the doors and take the 
key with you when leaving your vehicle 
unattended:

  Leaving your vehicle unlocked is 
dangerous as children could lock 
themselves in a hot vehicle, which 
could result in death. Also, a vehicle left 
unlocked becomes an easy target for 
thieves and intruders.
  

  After closing the doors, always verify 
that they are securely closed:

  Doors not securely closed are 
dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with 
a door not securely closed, the door 
could open unexpectedly resulting in 
an accident.
  

  Always  confi rm the safety around the 
vehicle before opening a door:

  Suddenly opening a door is dangerous. 
A passing vehicle or a pedestrian could 
be hit and cause an accident.

   NOTE

y

  When the ignition is switched to ACC 

or ON, the vehicle lock-out prevention 
feature prevents you from locking 
yourself out of the vehicle.

  All doors and the liftgate will 

automatically unlock if they are locked 
using the power door locks with any 
door open.

  The vehicle lock-out prevention feature 

does not operate while the ignition is 
switched off.

  When any door is opened from the 

outside while the key is inside the 
vehicle, the closed doors are locked. All 
the doors are automatically unlocked by 
closing the open door.

(With the advanced keyless function)

  The beep sound is heard for about 10 

seconds to notify the driver that the key 
has been left in the vehicle.

(Without the advanced keyless 
function)

  The horn sound is heard twice to notify 

the driver that the key has been left in 
the vehicle.
