Locking/Unlocking the doors
When you push the ºLOCKº button on the
transmitter, all the doors can be locked from outside
the vehicle.
At this time, the parking, tail, side marker and license
plate lights flash 1 time sounding 1 beep. However,
when you push the ºLOCKº button with any door not
closed securely, the buzzer sounds for 10 seconds or
until all the doors are closed securely. If the key is in the
ignition switch or any of the doors are open, locking
cannot be done.
Make sure all the doors are locked when you leave the
vehicle.
When you push the ºUNLOCKº button, the driver's
door is unlocked. Pushing that button once again
within 3 seconds from the first push, all other doors
also unlock.
At this time, two beeps sound. Together with the
activation of unlocking, the interior light comes on for 15
seconds if the interior light switch is in ºDOORº position.
However, this function does not work when the ignition
key is in the ºONº position. For further information, see
ºInterior lightsº on page 70.
You have 30 seconds to open a door after using the
wireless remote unlock feature. If a door is not opened
by then, all the doors will be automatically locked again.

driver's side instrument panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do
not affix anything on the windshield to block this sensor.

the ignition key to the ºONº position, or turn the headlight
switch off

make sure the headlight switch is off.
When the headlight switch is on with all the doors locked,
pushing the ºLOCKº button on the wireless remote
control transmitter turns off the headlights.
Daytime Running Light System
The headlights turn on at reduced intensity when the
parking brake is released with the engine started, even

lights, twist the knob to the first clickstop.
Twist the knob to the second clickstop to turn on the
headlights to full intensity for driving at night.

the headlights will automatically adjust to full intensity
and/or turn on the other lights depending on the darkness of the surroundings. Likewise, as the
surroundings be
come brighter, the headlights will turn to
reduced intensity, ultimately turning off the other lights.
