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 and the fuel-filler lid 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.

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 and the fuel-filler lid in the event
the vehicle is involved in an accident to
allow passengers to get out of the
vehicle immediatel y 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 and
the fuel-filler lid are automatically
unlocked after about 6 seconds have
elapsed from the time of the accident.
The doors and the fuel-filler lid 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 and the
fuel-filler lid 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.
