■Function to prevent the trunk lid being locked with the access key
inside (vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system)
●When all doors are being locked, closing the trunk lid with the access key
left inside the trunk will sound an alarm.
In this case, the trunk lid can be opened using the “keyless access” entry
function.
●Even when the spare access key is put in the trunk with all the doors
locked, the key confinement prevention function can be activated so the
trunk lid can be opened. In order to prevent theft, take all access keys
with you when leaving the vehicle.
●Even when the access 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 wave conditions. In this case, the key confinement pre-
vention function cannot be activated, causing the doors to lock when the
trunk lid is closed. Make sure to check where the key is before closing
the trunk lid.
●The key confinement prevention function cannot be activated if any one
of the doors is unlocked. In this case, open the trunk lid using the trunk lid
