Locking operation
Unlocking operation
Your vehicle has a wireless remote
control system that can lock or unlock
all the doors, open the trunk lid, or
activate the “PANIC” mode from a
distance within approximately 1 m (3
ft.) of the vehicle.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE
DOORS
To lock or unlock all the doors, push
the “LOCK” switch or “UNLOCK”
switch of the transmitter slowly and
securely.
To lock: Push the “LOCK” switch. All the
doors are locked simultaneously. At this
time one beep will be heard, parking
lights, side marker lights, license plate
lights and tail lights flash once.
Check to see that the doors are securely
locked.
If any of the doors is not securely closed,
or if the key is in the ignition switch,
locking cannot be performed by the
“LOCK” switch and a beep will sound con-
tinuously for 10 seconds.To unlock: Push the “UNLOCK” switch
once to unlock the driver ’s door alone.
Pushing the switch twice within 3 seconds
unlocks all the doors simultaneously. Each
time the “UNLOCK” switch is pushed, two
beeps will be heard, and the parking
lights, side marker lights, license plate
lights and tail lights flash twice.
If the ignition key is in the “ON” position,
unlocking cannot be performed by the
“UNLOCK” switch.
You have 30 seconds to open a door after
using the wireless remote unlock feature.
If a door is not opened by then, all the
doors will be automatically locked again.
If the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” switch is kept
pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera-
tion is not repeated. Release the button
and then push again.

CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Always make sure the heads, hands
and other parts of the bodies of all
occupants are kept completely in-
side the vehicle before you close
the power windows. If someone’s
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, make
sure that he/she operates the win-
dows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended children can be involved in
serious accidents.
To open the trunk lid from the outside,
insert the master key and turn it clock-
wise.
See “Luggage stowage precautions” in
Section 2 for precautions to observe in
loading luggage.
To close the trunk lid, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the trunk lid, try
pulling it up to make sure it is securely
closed.

lease lever so that things locked in the
trunk can be protected.1. After closing the armrest door, insert the master key and turn it clockwise
