buzzer continues even after the remote is put
back inside, place it to be within its
operational range.
■When the power mode is in ON

vehicle, and the driver’s door is closed,
warning buzzers sound from both inside and
outside the vehicle. A warning message on
the i-MID notifies the driver inside that the
remote is out.
