To lock and unlock all the doors, push
the switches of the transmitter slowly
and securely.
To lock: Push the “LOCK” switch. All the
doors are locked simultaneously. At this
time the turn signal lights will flash once.
Check to see that the doors are securely
locked.
If any door is not securely closed, locking
cannot be performed 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 doors simultaneously. Each
time the “UNLOCK” switch is pushed, the
turn signal lights will flash twice.
When the “UNLOCK” switch is pressed,
the interior light comes on. The light re-
mains on for about 15 seconds unless any
door is opened and closed. (For further
information, see “Interior/instrument panel
light control” on page 95 in Section 1−5.)
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 switch
and then push again.

tery, be careful not to lose the com-
ponents.

equivalent type recommended by a

ing these procedures:

If a person is locked in the trunk,
he/she can pull down the phosphores-
cent handle on the inside of trunk lid
to open the trunk lid.
The phosphorescent (glow−in −the −dark)
handle will continue to glow for a time
after the trunk lid is closed. Exposing the
handle to stronger light will cause it to
glow longer.
CAUTION
Always lock the trunk lid and all
doors, and keep away the vehicle
keys out of children’s reach.
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. Unsupervised children
may lock themselves in the vehicle
or trunk and suffer serious injuries
or death.
TVIP is a theft deterrent system. If
someone attempts to damage or break
into your vehicle, the system sounds
the alarm while flashing the lights.
