NOTE

To allow the front passenger occupant
classification 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.

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 flashes 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.
