*Some models.
Key Removed from Vehicle
Warning Beep
Vehicles with advanced keyless function

the ignition is not switched OFF and
all the doors are closed, the beep which
sounds outside of the vehicle will be heard
6 times, the beep which sounds inside
the vehicle will be heard 6 times, and the

cluster flashes continuously to notify
the driver that the ignition has not been
switched OFF.
Vehicles without advanced keyless
function

the doors are closed, a beep will be heard
in the cabin 6 times and the KEY warning
light (red) in the instrument cluster turns
on continuously to notify the driver that
the ignition has not been switched OFF.
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)
If the request switch is pressed with the
door open or ajar, or the ignition is not
switched OFF with a key being carried,
a beep will be heard outside for about 2
seconds to notify the driver that the door
or trunk lid cannot be locked.
Key Left-in-trunk Warning Beep
(With the advanced keyless
function)

seconds to notify the driver that the key is
in the trunk. In this case, take out the key
by pressing the electric trunk lid opener
and opening the trunk lid. The key taken
out of the trunk may not operate because
its functions have been temporarily
stopped. To restore the key's functions,
perform the applicable procedure (page
3-7).
Key Left-in-vehicle Warning Beep
(With the advanced keyless
function)

seconds to notify the driver that the key
is in the cabin. In this case, take out the
key by opening the door. A key taken
out of the vehicle using this method may
not operate because its functions have
been temporarily stopped. To restore the
key's functions, perform the applicable
procedure (page 3-7).
