■Operation signals
The emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been locked/
unlocked. (Locked: once; Unlocked: twice)
■Panic mode
■Security feature
If a door is not opened within approximately 60 seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked, the security feature automatically locks the vehicle again.
■ Alarm (if equipped)
Using the wireless remote control to lock the doors will set the alarm system.
(P. 74)
■ Conditions affecting operation
The wireless remote control function may not operate normally in the follow-
ing situations:
●When the wireless key battery is depleted
● Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electri-
cal noise
● When carrying a portable radio, cell ular phone or other wireless commu-
nication device
● When the wireless key is in contact with, or is covered by a metallic
object
● When other wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used nearby
● If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to
the rear window
When is pressed for longer than
about 1 second, an alarm will sound inter-
mittently and the vehicle lights will flash to
deter any person from trying to break into
or damage your vehicle.
To stop the alarm, press any button on
the wireless remote control.

84 1-7. Safety information
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbag s/SRS seat cush-
ion airbags)
● The SRS front airbags and seat cushion airbags will deploy in the event
of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corre-
sponding to an approximately 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision
with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle and sign pole, which can move
or deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision
(e.g. a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes
under, the bed of a truck etc.).
● It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the
vehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front air-
bags, SRS seat cushion airbags and the seat belt pretensioners may not
activate together.
● The SRS front airbags and seat cushion airbag for the front passenger
will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the front passenger
seat. However, the SRS front airbags and seat cushion airbag for the
front passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat
is unoccupied.
● The SRS seat cushion airbags on the front seats will not operate if the
occupant is not wearing a seat belt.
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (S RS side and curtain shield air-
bags)
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact
that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the
impact force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle collid-
ing with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orien-
tation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]).

Before driving
■
Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other
than a collision
The SRS front airbags and seat cushion airbags may also deploy if a serious
impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown
in the illustration.
■ Types of collisions that may not de ploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air-
bags/SRS seat cushion airbags)
The SRS front airbags and seat cushion airbags do not generally inflate if
the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is
involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any
type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the
SRS front airbags and seat cushion airbags may occur.
● Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or
hard surface
● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
● Landing hard or falling
●Collision from the side
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover
