electronic key is near the vehicle,
there is a possib ility that the door
may not be unlocke d by the entry
function. (Use the wireless remote
control to unloc k the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or
prevent lock operation. Remove
the gloves and touch the lock sen-
sor again.

formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals will be shown up
to two consecutive times. After
this, no recognition signals will be
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet
while the electronic key is within
the effective range, the door may
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that
case, follow the
following correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:

multi-information display and a
buzzer will sound outside the vehi-
cle. To turn off th e alarm, lock all
the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work
properly if it comes into contact
with ice, snow, m ud, etc. Clean
the lock sensor and attempt to
operate it again, or use the lock
sensor on the lower part of the
door handle.

tive range or door handle may pre-
vent the doors from being
unlocked. In this case, return the
door handle to the original position
and check that t he doors unlock
before pulling the door handle
again.
●If there is another electronic key in
the detection area, it may take
slightly longer to unlock the doors
after the door handle is gripped.
