●When the speed linked door locking function and shift position linked door locking
function are both on, the door lock operates as follows.
• When shifting the shift lever to any position other than P, all the doors will be locked.
• If the vehicle is started with all the door s locked, the speed linked door locking func-
tion would not operate.
• If the vehicle is started with any door unlocked, the speed linked door locking func- tion will operate.
●When the entry function is off, the select ing doors to unlock cannot be customized.
●When the doors remain closed after unlocking the doors and the automatic door lock
function (time elapsed before the automatic d oor lock function is activated if a door is
not opened after being unlock ed) activates, the signals will be generated in accordance
with the operation signal (buzzers) and the operation signal (emergency flashers) set-
tings.
●Some settings can be changed using a switch or the Remote Touch screen. If a setting is
changed using a switch , the changed setting will not be reflected on the Remote Touch

■During customization
As the hybrid system needs to be operating during customization, ensure that the vehi-
cle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such as a garage,
exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the
vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
