If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Seat Belt Warning Beep
Except Mexico
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition is switched ON, a beep
sound will be heard for about 6 seconds.
If the driver or the passenger's seat belt is
not fastened and the vehicle is driven at a
speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph),
a beep sound will be heard again for a
specified period of time.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given
period of time has elapsed, the beep sound
will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls
below 20 km/h (12 mph).
NOTE
 To allow the passenger occupant
classification sensor to function
properly, do not place and sit on
an additional seat cushion on the
passenger's seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor
interference. If a small child is seated on the
passenger's seat, the warning beep may
not operate.
Mexico
If the vehicle speed exceeds about 20 km/h
(12 mph) with the driver or passenger's
seat belt unfastened, a warning beep
sounds continuously. If the seat belt
remains unfastened, the beep sound stops
once and then continues for about 90
seconds. The beep stops after the driver or
passenger's seat belt is fastened.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given
period of time has elapsed, the beep sound
will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls
below 20 km/h (12 mph).
NOTE
 Placing heavy items on the passenger's
seat may cause the passenger's seat belt
warning function to operate depending
on the weight of the item. To allow the passenger seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion
on the passenger's seat. The sensor
may not function properly because the
additional seat cushion could cause
sensor interference. If a small child is seated on the
passenger's seat, the warning beep may
not operate.
Ignition Not Switched Off (STOP)
Warning Beep
If the driver's door is opened while
the ignition is switched to ACC, a
continuous beep sound will be heard to
notify the driver that the ignition has not
been switched off (STOP). Left in this
condition, the keyless entry system will
not operate, the car cannot be locked, and
the battery power will be depleted.
Key Removed from Vehicle
Warning Beep
A beep sound will be heard 6 times and
the KEY warning light (red) will flash
continuously if the ignition has not been
switched off, all the doors are closed, and
the key is removed from the vehicle. This
is to notify the driver that the key has been
removed from the vehicle and the ignition
has not been switched off.

If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
*Some models.
NOTE
Because the key utilizes low-intensity
radio waves, the Key Removed From
Vehicle Warning may activate if the key is
carried together with a metal object or it
is placed in a poor signal reception area.
Request Switch Inoperable
Warning Beep (With the advanced
keyless function)

switched off while the key is being carried,
a beep will be heard for about 2 seconds
to indicate that the doors and the trunk lid
cannot be locked.
Key Left-in-trunk Warning Beep
(With the advanced keyless
function)
If the key is left in the trunk with all doors
locked and the trunk lid closed, a beep
sound is heard for about 10 seconds to
remind the driver the key has been left in
the trunk. If this happens, open the trunk
lid by pressing the electric trunk lid opener
and remove the key. A key removed from
the trunk may not function because its
functions may have been temporarily
suspended. To restore the key function,
perform the applicable procedure (page
3-7).
Key Left-in-vehicle Warning Beep
(With the advanced keyless
function)
If a key is left in the vehicle cabin and all
the doors and the trunk are locked using
a separate key, a beep sound is heard for
about 10 seconds to remind the driver
that the key has been left in the vehicle
cabin. If this happens, open the door and
remove the key. A key removed from the
vehicle this way may not function because
its functions may have been temporarily
suspended. Perform the applicable
procedure to restore the functions of the
key (page 3-7).

for about 3 seconds when there is any
abnormality in tire inflation pressures
(page 4-93).
