INFORMATION
 Do not put an electronic key on the instrument panel,
rear package tray or floor, or in the glove box or

and be locked out of the vehicle. Be sure to take the
electronic key with you.
 If you have the electronic key but bring it very close
to the window or outside door handle, the alarm
might activate. In this case, keep the electronic key
a certain distance away from the window or outside
door handle and then push the lock button again.
 If the electronic key is left in the vehicle, attempting
to lock the door by pushing in the lock button located
in the inside door handle and closing the door will
