Before Driving

Doors and Locks



  All doors and the liftgate/trunk lid 

cannot be locked when any door or the 

liftgate is open.



  It may require a few seconds for the 

doors to unlock after the request switch 

is pressed.



  A beep sound is heard for confirmation 

when the doors and the liftgate/trunk lid 

are locked/unlocked using the request 

switch. If you prefer, the beep sound can 

be turned off.

  The volume of the beep sound can also 

be changed. Refer to Personalization 

Features on page 9-12.

  Use the following procedure to change 

the setting.

1.  Switch the ignition off and close all 

of the doors and the liftgate/trunk lid.

2.  Open the driver's door.

3.  Within 30 seconds of opening the 

driver's door, press and hold the 

LOCK button on the key for 5 

seconds or longer.

  All of the doors and the liftgate/

trunk lid lock and the beep sound 

activates at the currently set volume. 

The setting changes each time the 

LOCK button on the key is pressed 

and the beep sound activates at the 

set volume. (If the beep sound has 

been set to not activate, it will not 

activate.)

4.  The setting change is completed by 

doing any one of the following:



  Switching the ignition to ACC or 

ON.



  Closing the driver's door.



  Opening the liftgate/trunk lid.



  Not operating the key for 10 

seconds.



  Pressing any button except the 

LOCK button on the key.



  Pressing a request switch.



(With theft-deterrent system)

  The hazard warning lights flash when 

the theft-deterrent system is armed or 

turned off.

  Refer to Theft-Deterrent System on page 

3-44.



  The setting can be changed so that 

the doors and the liftgate/trunk lid are 

locked automatically without pressing 

the request switch.

  Refer to Personalization Features on 

page 9-12.

(Auto-lock function)

  A beep sound is heard when all doors 

and the liftgate are closed while the 

advanced key is being carried. All 

doors and the liftgate/trunk lid are 

locked automatically after about three 

seconds when the 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/trunk 

lid 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.
