to determine if it corresponds to the registered ID code for the
vehicle. After this, the outer foot lights come on. (For outer foot

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

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)

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.
