Vehicle specifications
■Vehicle customization
●When the “Auto Lock by Speed” and “Auto Lock by Shift from P” are both on, the
door lock operates as follows.
• When shifting the shift lever to any position other than P, all the doors will be
locked.
• If the vehicle is started with all the door s locked, the “Auto Lock by Speed” would
not operate.
• If the vehicle is started with any door unlocked, the “Auto Lock by Speed” will operate.
●When the smart access system with push-b utton start is off, the “Select Doors to
Unlock” cannot be customized.
●When the doors remain closed after un locking the doors and the “Auto Relock
Timer” activates, the signals will be generated in accordance with the “Lock/
Unlock Feedback-Tone” and the “Lock/Unlock Feedback-Lights” settings.
■When customizing using the Remote Touch
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, apply the parking brake, and shift the shift lever to P.
Also, to prevent battery discharge, leave the engine running while customizing the
features.

As the engine needs to be running during customization, ensure that the vehicle is
parked in a place with adequate ventilatio n. In a closed area such as a garage,
exhaust gases including harmful carbon mo noxide (CO) may collect and enter the
vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while customizing
features.
