KEYS AND DOORS
22UNLOCKING THE DOOR(S) WITH ENTRY FUNCTION
G11032
When you take hold the back side of the outside door
handle on the driver’s door carrying an electronic key, the
driver’s door will be unlocked. When you take hold the
back
side of the outside door handle except on the driver’s
door, carrying an electronic key, all the doors will be
unlocked. At this time, two beeps will sound and turn
signal lights flash twice.
When you get close to your vehicle (about 1 m (3 ft.) from each
outside door handle), and are carrying the electronic key, the
electronic code emitted from the key is automatically checked
to determine if it corresponds to the registered ID code for the
vehicle. After this, the outer foot lights come on. (For outer foot
lights, see “Outer foot lights” on page 208.)
You can select the doors to be unlocked. For details, see
“Changing the doors to be unlocked” on page 23. When the door(s) is(are) unlock
ed, the interior lights come on
for 15 seconds if the interior light switch is in the “DOOR”
position. However, the interior lights go out when you push the
power door lock switch in the lock position or select the engine
switch in “ACC” or “IG− ON” mode. For further information, see
“Interior lights” on page 98.
You have 30 seconds to open a door after operating the
unlocking function. If a door is not opened by then, all the doors
will be automatically locked again.
INFORMATION
When unlocking the door(s), be sure to take hold of
the back side of the outside door handle firmly as
shown in the illustration. Taking hold of the handle
with a gloved hand might cause a delay in unlocking
or may not unlock.
When you take hold of the handle to unlock the
door(s), be sure to confirm that the door(s) has(have)
been unlocked. If the turn signal lights flash twice,
two beeps sound outside the vehicle, the doors are
unlocked. At this time, you can pull the outside door
handle to open the door. If you quickly move closer
to the vehicle or pull the outside door handle quickly,
the doors might not unlock. If you cannot open the
door by pulling the outside door handle at this time,
push it back to the original position and then pull it
out again.

If you bring the electronic key very close to the
outside door handle, the doors might not unlock.
If the electronic key is within effective range, even
persons not carrying an electronic key may lock or
unlock the doors.
If a large amount of water is applied to the outside
door handle during heavy rain or a car wash, and
someone carrying an electronic key is near the
vehicle, the door(s) might be unlocked. However, if
the outside door handle is not pulled out, the doors
will lock automatically after about 30 seconds.
CHANGING THE DOORS TO BE UNLOCKED
G11033
When you push the “LOCK” button together with the
“UNLOCK”, “TRUNK” or “P ANIC” button on the electronic
key for about 5 seconds with the engine switch off, you
can change the settings for door unlocking.
The settings will change in the following order:
1 Unlocking driver’s door
2Unlocking the side doors
3Unlocking a single door
4Unlocking all the doors
After setting, a tone sounds and the multi −information display
shows which setting is selected. Outside the vehicle, one beep
sounds when the single door is set to be unlocked, 2 beeps
sound when all the doors are set, 3 beeps sound when the
driver’s door is set, and 4 beeps sound when side doors are
set.
