■Function to prevent the trunk being locked with the electronic key inside
●When all doors are being locked, closing the trunk lid with the electronic key left
inside the trunk will sound an alarm. 
In this case, the trunk lid can be opened using the entry function.
●Even when the spare electronic key is pu t in the trunk with all the doors locked,
the key confinement prevention function can be activated so the trunk can be
opened. In order to prevent theft, take all electronic keys with you when leaving
the vehicle.
●Even when the electronic key is put in the trunk with all the doors are locked, the
key may not be detected depending on the places and the surrounding radio

●The key confinement prevention function cannot be activated if any one of the
doors is unlocked. In this case, open the trunk using the trunk opener.
