■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 (if equipped)
The opening angle setting can be changed through operation of either the
power back door switch or the audio system screen.
However, if the engine 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 engine 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 battery discharge, leave the engine running while
customizing the features.
WARNING
■ During customization
As the engine needs to be running 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 battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while cus-
tomizing features.
