possible influences before use.
The remote keyless entry keyfob trans-
mits radio waves when the buttons are
pressed. The FAA advises the radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate the

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, turn on the
interior lights, and activate the panic alarm by
using the keyfob from outside the vehicle.
Some settings for the keyfob, such as horn beep,
can be adjusted. For vehicles without navigation
system, refer to “Silencing the horn beep feature”
in this section. For vehicles with navigation sys-
tem, refer to “Comfort & convenience settings” in
the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice
recognition systems” section in this manual.
