■Vehicle customization
●When the smart key system is off, the entry unlock function cannot be cus-
tomized.
● When the doors remain closed after unlocking the doors and the timer acti-
vated automatic door lock function activates, signals will be generated in
accordance with the operation buzzer volume and operational signal (Emer-
gency flashers) function settings.
■ Changing of the power back door opening angle
The opening angle setting can be changed through operation of either the
power back door switch or the audio system screen.
However, if the power switch is on and the power back door switch is used to
change the opening angle setting, the changed opening angle will not be
reflected on the audio system screen until the power switch is turned off and
then on again.
■ When customizing on the audio system screen
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, apply the parking brake, and shift the shift
lever to P. Also, to prevent 12-volt battery discharge, leave the hybrid system
operating while customizing the features.
WARNING
■ During customization
As the hybrid system needs to be oper ating during customization, ensure
that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed
area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide
(CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
NOTICE
■ During customization
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is oper-
ating while customizing features.
