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 speci

¿

 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  with  the 
ignition switched to ACC, a beep will 
be heard continuously in the cabin to 
notify the driver that the ignition has not 
been switched OFF (STOP). Under this 
condition, the keyless entry system will 
not operate, the vehicle cannot be locked, 
and the battery voltage will be depleted.
    

           Key Removed from Vehicle 

Warning Beep

              Vehicles  with  advanced  keyless  function

       If the key is taken out of the vehicle while 
the ignition is not switched OFF and 
all the doors are closed, the beep which 
sounds outside of the vehicle will be heard 
6 times, the beep which sounds inside 
the vehicle will be heard 6 times, and the 
KEY warning light (red) in the instrument 
cluster 

À

 ashes continuously to notify 

the driver that the ignition has not been 
switched OFF.

  Vehicles without advanced keyless 
function

   If the key is taken out of the vehicle while 
the ignition is not switched OFF and all 
the doors are closed, a beep will be heard 
in the cabin 6 times and the KEY warning 
light (red) in the instrument cluster turns 
on continuously to notify the driver that 
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 the 
door open or ajar, or the ignition is not 
switched OFF with a key being carried, 
a beep will be heard outside for about 2 
seconds to notify the driver that the door 
or liftgate/trunk lid cannot be locked.
