lWhen turning the ignition switch to
the LOCK position, the ignition
switch has to be pushed in from the
ACC position and turned. Without
being pushed in, the ignition switch
stops at the ACC position and the
vehicle battery may be discharged if
the ignition switch is left in the ACC
position. When leaving the vehicle,
make sure the ignition switch is
turned to the LOCK position.
lIf the vehicle is left with the ignition
switch not in the LOCK position, a
beep sound is heard and the indicator
light flashes to notify the driver.
Refer to Warning Beep (page 3-18).

equipped vehicles.
Press the button slowly and carefully.
NOTE
lThe keyless entry system is designed
to operate up to about 2.5 m (8 ft)

this may vary due to local
conditions.
lThe system does not operate when
the ignition switch is not in the
LOCK position or the start knob is
pushed in.
lWith the start knob installed in the
LOCK position, the system is fully
operational. If the ignition switch is
not in the LOCK position or the start
knob is pushed in, the system does
not operate.
lAll doors cannot be locked by
pressing the lock button while any
door is open. The hazard warning
lights will also not flash.
lIf the transmitter does not operate
when pressing a button or the
operational range becomes too small,
the battery may be dead. To install a

(page 3-5).
