The child safety lock levers are located on the
edge of the rear doors.
When the lever is in the lock position, the
door can be opened only from the outside.It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, turn the
interior light on, and activate the panic alarm by
using the keyfob from outside the vehicle.
Be sure to remove the key from the vehicle
before locking the doors.
The keyfob can operate at a distance of approxi-
mately 49 ft (15 m) from the vehicle. The effective
distance depends upon the conditions around
the vehicle.
As many as 4 keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the purchase
