LOCKING THE DOORS WITH ENTRY FUNCTION
G11028
When the engine switch is off and you push the lock
button on the outside door handle while carrying an
electronic key, all the doors will be locked. At this time,
one beep will sound and the turn signal lights will flash
once.
The entry function will be activated within about 1m (3ft.) from
each outside door handle.
However, when you push the lock button on the outside door
handle with any door not closed securely, a beep sounds for
10 seconds. (For details, see page 21.)
If outer foot lights are illuminated, you can turn off the lights by
pushing the lock button on the outside door handle. (For
details, see “Outer foot lights” on page 208.)
NOTICE
If the key is in the vehicle, do not perform door locking
operation, or you might lock your keys inside the
vehicle.
INFORMATION

When locking the doors, be sure to push the lock
button on the outside door handle slowly and firmly.
If you push the button quickly, the doors may not
lock.
 When opening or closing a door, do not touch the
lock button on the outside door handle.
 When an electronic key is used to lock the doors and
an electronic key is left in the effective range of the
entry function in the vehicle, the doors cannot be
unlocked using the entry function. In this case, use
the wireless remote control function to unlock the
doors.
 You cannot activate unlocking function within 3
seconds after the locking function is activated.

KEYS AND DOORS
22UNLOCKING THE DOOR(S) WITH ENTRY FUNCTION
G11032
When you take hold the back side of the outside door
handle on the driver’s door carrying an electronic key, the
driver’s door will be unlocked. When you take hold the
back
side of the outside door handle except on the driver’s
door, carrying an electronic key, all the doors will be
unlocked. At this time, two beeps will sound and turn
signal lights flash twice.
When you get close to your vehicle (about 1 m (3 ft.) from each
outside door handle), and are carrying the electronic key, the
electronic code emitted from the key is automatically checked
to determine if it corresponds to the registered ID code for the
vehicle. After this, the outer foot lights come on. (For outer foot
lights, see “Outer foot lights” on page 208.)
You can select the doors to be unlocked. For details, see
“Changing the doors to be unlocked” on page 23. When the door(s) is(are) unlock
ed, the interior lights come on
for 15 seconds if the interior light switch is in the “DOOR”
position. However, the interior lights go out when you push the
power door lock switch in the lock position or select the engine
switch in “ACC” or “IG− ON” mode. For further information, see
“Interior lights” on page 98.
You have 30 seconds to open a door after operating the
unlocking function. If a door is not opened by then, all the doors
will be automatically locked again.
INFORMATION
 When unlocking the door(s), be sure to take hold of
the back side of the outside door handle firmly as
shown in the illustration. Taking hold of the handle
with a gloved hand might cause a delay in unlocking
or may not unlock.
 When you take hold of the handle to unlock the
door(s), be sure to confirm that the door(s) has(have)
been unlocked. If the turn signal lights flash twice,
two beeps sound outside the vehicle, the doors are
unlocked. At this time, you can pull the outside door
handle to open the door. If you quickly move closer
to the vehicle or pull the outside door handle quickly,
the doors might not unlock. If you cannot open the
door by pulling the outside door handle at this time,
push it back to the original position and then pull it
out again.

KEYS AND DOORS
26BATTERY POWER SAVING
If the electronic key is left within the effective range of the
outside of the vehicle for more than 10 minutes without locking
or unlocking the doors, the entry function is disabled.
If the electronic key does not enter the effective range of the
outside of the vehicle for 4 days, the output interval of the
electromagnetic signal is extended. If this situation continues
for 14 days, the entry function is disabled.
To reactivate the entry function properly, perform any of the
following:
(a) Press the lock button on the outside door handle while
carrying the electronic key.
(b) Perform a wireless remote control function.
(c) Insert and turn the mechanical key in the keyhole of the
door.
INFORMATION

To maintain communication with the vehicle,
electronic keys use builtin battery power. The
battery service life is about 1 to 2 years on average.
If battery power becomes insufficient, replace the
battery with a new one.
 The electronic key continually receives
electromagnetic waves, and if it receives strong
electromagnetic waves over a period of time, the
battery can be drastically run down. Therefore, avoid
storing electronic keys near any electrical
appliances.
Here is a list of electrical appliances which may have
adverse effects on the electronic key performance:
TVs, personal computers, cellular phone or cordless
phone recharger units, electric light stands and
fluorescent desk lights
Note that you should always keep such electrical
appliances at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the electronic
key.

KEYS AND DOORS

Closing the door with the lock button pushed in will also lock
the door. If the electronic key is left in the vehicle, locking
cannot be done.
If the vehicle is subjected to a severe frontal, rear or side
impact with the engine switch in “IG
−ON” mode, all the doors
will unlock automatically after a few seconds.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure the doors are closed and
locked, especially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat belts, locking
the doors helps prevent the driver and passengers from
being thrown out from the vehicle during an accident.
It also helps prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

lights come on. To turn off the lights, push the power door lock
switch on the lock side. (For details, see “Outer foot lights” on
page 208.)
The same switch is also found on the front passenger’s side.
However, pushing this switch will neither turn on nor off the
outer foot lights.

G11004
 1Unlock 2Lock
Whenever small children are in the vehicle, lock the rear
door so that it does not open by the inside door handle.
To do this, turn the knob to the lock position as shown and
then close the door.
THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
G11005
To deter theft of the vehicle, this system is designed to
sound an alarm if any of the doors, trunk or hood is
forcibly unlocked or opened, or the battery terminal is
disconnected and then reconnected while the vehicle is
locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently, flashes the headlights,
tail lights, turn signal lights and other exterior lights. When the
interior light switch is in the “DOOR” position, the interior lights
also turn on.
After the alarm is activated, when you unlock any door or the
trunk using a entry function, wireless remote control or
mechanical key, the tail lights turn on for about 2 seconds to
inform you that the system was activated.
