■Operation signals
●Doors: A buzzer sounds and the emergency flashers flash to indicate that the
doors have been locked/unlocked. (Locked: Once; Unlocked: Twice)
●Windows and moon roof: A buzzer sounds when the windows and moon roof
begin to close.

If a door is not fully closed, a buzzer sounds continuously if an attempt to lock the
door is made. Fully close the door to stop the buzzer, and lock the vehicle once
more.

lowing situations, the communication between key and vehicle may be affected,
preventing the smart access system with push-button start and wireless remote
control from operating properly. (Way of coping:→P. 5 3 1 )
