independently by using the inside lock knob.
l Repeated continuous operation between lock
and unlock could activate the central door
locking systems built-in protection circuit
and prevent the system from operating.
If this occurs, wait about 1 minute before op-
erating the inside lock knob or the key.
All of the doors and the tailgate can be locked and
unlocked as described hereafter.

NOTE
l For RHD vehicles, turning the key in the
front door will not operate the central door
locking system. Therefore, use the keyless en-
try system instead. If the keyless entry sys-
tem does not operate, such as when the re-
mote control switch battery is discharged,
use the key to unlock the front door.

Odometer E00527800012
The odometer indicates the distance travelled.Tripmeter E00527900013
The tripmeter indicates the distance travelled be-
tween two points.
Example usage of tripmeter
and tripmeter It is possible to measure two currently travel-
led distances, from home using tripmeter
and from a particular point on the way using
tripmeter .
To reset the tripmeter
To return the display to 0, hold down the multi-in-

on the previous fuel consumption
data. The actual distance will de-
pend on the driving conditions
(road conditions, how you drive,
etc.). When the battery terminal is

amount of fuel, the correct value
will not be displayed. Fill with a
full tank whenever possible.
l On rare occasions, the value dis-
played for the driving range may
change if you are parked on an ex-
