*

Some models.

 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 trunk lid cannot be locked.

 Key Left-in-trunk Warning Beep 

(With the advanced keyless 

function)

If the key is left in the trunk with all the 

doors locked and the trunk lid closed, a 

beep will be heard outside for about 10 

seconds to notify the driver that the key is 

in the trunk. In this case, take out the key 

by pressing the electric trunk lid opener 

and opening the trunk lid. The key taken 

out of the trunk may not operate because 

its functions have been temporarily 

stopped. To restore the key's functions, 

perform the applicable procedure (page 

3-7).

 Key Left-in-vehicle Warning Beep 

(With the advanced keyless 

function)

If all the doors and trunk are locked using 

another key while the key is left in the 

cabin, the beep which sounds outside of 

the vehicle will be heard for about 10 

seconds to notify the driver that the key 

is in the cabin. In this case, take out the 

key by opening the door. A key taken 

out of the vehicle using this method may 

not operate because its functions have 

been temporarily stopped. To restore the 

key's functions, perform the applicable 

procedure (page 3-7).

 Tire Inflation Pressure Warning 

Beep

*

The warning beep sound will be heard 

for about 3 seconds when there is any
