Warning buzzers may sound from inside or/
and outside the vehicle to remind you that the
keyless access remote is out of the vehicle. If
the buzzer continues even after the remote is
put back inside, place it within its operational
range.
■When the power mode is in ON
If the keyless access remote is taken out of the
vehicle, and the driver's door is closed,

ACCESSORY or in VEHICLE OFF (LOCK)
If the keyless access remote is taken out of the
vehicle, and the driver's door is closed, a
warning buzzer sounds from outside the
vehicle.

When the keyless access remote is within the
system's operational range, and the driver's door is
closed, the warni ng function cancels.
If the keyless access remote is taken out of the vehicle
after the engine has been started, you can no longer
change the ENGINE START/STOP button mode or
restart the engine. Always make sure if the remote is

Removing the keyless access remote from the vehicle
through a window does not activate the warning

or in the glove box. It may cause the warning buzzer
to go off. Under some other conditions that can
prevent the vehicle from locating the remote, the
warning buzzer may al so go off even if the remote is
