Before Driving; Doors and Locks- Page 70

•

If the key is left in the following areas
and you leave the vehicle, the doors may
be locked depending on the radio wave
conditions even if the key is left in the
vehicle.

•

Around the dashboard

•

In the storage compartments or the
center console

•

Next to a communication device such
as a mobile phone

•

When the ignition is switched to ACC or
ON, the vehicle lock-out prevention
feature prevents you from locking
yourself out of the vehicle.
Both doors will automatically unlock if
they are locked using the power door
locks with any door open.
If both the doors are closed even though
the trunk lid is open, both the doors and
the fuel-filler lid will lock.
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.
Both 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.

•

(Door unlock (control) system with
collision detection)

*

This system automatically unlocks the
doors in the event the vehicle is involved
in an accident to allow passengers to get
out of the vehicle immediately and
prevent being trapped inside. While the
ignition is switched ON and in the event
the vehicle receives an impact strong
enough to inflate the air bags, both the
doors are automatically unlocked after
about 6 seconds have elapsed from the
time of the accident.
The doors may not unlock depending on
how an impact is applied, the force of
the impact, and other conditions of the
accident.
If door-related systems or the battery is
malfunctioning, the doors will not
unlock.

•

When opening a door, the power
windows open a little automatically.
When closing the door, the power
windows close automatically. This is a
function for improving the sealability,
and it does not mean there is a problem.
If the vehicle battery is disconnected for
vehicle maintenance or other reasons,
the power windows will not open or
close automatically. If the power
windows do not open or close, the
automatic open/close mechanism for the
windows must be reset.
Refer to Auto-opening on page 3-34.
