Your vehicle has a wireless remote
control system that can lock or unlock
all the side doors and back door from a
distance within approximately 1 m (3
ft.) of the vehicle.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE SIDE

tor light on the key grip flashes once.

side doors and back door are locked si-
multaneously. At this time, parking lights
and tail lights flash once.
Check to see that all the side doors and
back door are securely locked.

not securely closed, or if the key is in the
ignition switch, locking cannot be per-
formed by the ”LOCK” switch.
To unlock: Push the ”UNLOCK” switch
once to unlock the driver ’s door alone.
Pushing the switch twice within 3 seconds
unlocks all the side doors and back door
simultaneously. At this time, parking lights
and tail lights flash twice.Together with the activation of unlocking,
the interior light comes on for 15 seconds
if the interior light switch is in “DOOR”
position. However, this function does not
work when the ignition key is in the “ON”
position. (For detailed information, see “In-
terior light” in Section 1 4.)
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
side doors and back door will be automati-
cally 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.
”PANIC” SWITCH
Pushing the ”PANIC” switch for 1 sec-
ond blows the horn intermittently and
flashes the headlights and tail lights.
The ”PANIC” switch is used to deter ve-
hicle theft when you witness anyone at-
tempting to break into or damage your
vehicle.
The alarm will last for 1 minute. To stop
the alarm midway, push the ”PANIC” or
”UNLOCK” switch, or unlock any side door
or back door with key. You can also stop
the alarm by turning the ignition key from
