pulsate slightly when
applying the brakes?This can occur when the ABS activates, and does not indicate a
problem. Apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. Never

after I unlocked the doors
using a remote
transmitter?If you do not open the doors within 30 seconds, the doors are
relocked automatically for security.

sound when I open the
driver's door?The beeper sounds when:
●The key is left in the ignition switch*.
●The power mode* is in ACCESSORY.
●The exterior lights are left on.

sound when I start driving?The beeper sounds when:
