CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

Unlocking operation
The wireless remote control system is
designed to lock or unlock all the side
doors and back door, or activate the

multaneously. At this time, turn signal

If a door is not opened by then, all the
side doors and back door will be automati-
cally locked again.

pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera-
tion is not repeated. Release the switch
and then push again.

Pushing the “PANIC” switch blows the
horn intermittently and flashes the
headlights and turn signal lights.
The “PANIC” switch is used to deter ve-
hicle theft when you witness anyone at-
tempting to break into or damage your

The alarm will last for 1 minute. To stop
alarm midway, do the following:
Push any of the switch on the wireless
remote control transmitter.
Unlock any of doors with the key.
Turn the ignition key from the “LOCK”
to “ON” position.
The “PANIC” mode does not work when
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
