(Auto-lock function)

  A beep sound is heard when all doors

advanced key is being carried. All doors 

and the liftgate are locked automatically

advanced key is out of the operational 

range. Also, the hazard warning lights 

flash once. (Even if the driver is in the 

operational range, all doors and the 

liftgate are locked automatically after 

about 30 seconds.) If you are out of 

the operational range before the doors 

and the liftgate/trunk lid are completely 

closed or another key is left in the 

vehicle, the auto-lock function will not 

work. Always make sure that all doors 

and the liftgate/trunk lid are closed and 

locked before leaving the vehicle. The 

auto-lock function does not close the 

power windows.
