All doors will unlock when you grip
the front passenger door handle
regardless of the driver’s door unlock
preference setting (“Driver Door” or
“All Doors”). Preventing Inadvertent Locking
of the Key fob RKE Transmitter
inside the Vehicle To minimize the possibility of
unintentionally locking a key fob RKE

the inside and outside of the vehicle
for any valid key fobs RKE transmitter.
If one of the vehicle's key fobs RKE
transmitters is detected inside the
vehicle, and no other valid key fobs
RKE transmitters are detected outside

automatically unlocks all vehicle doors
and chirps the horn fourteen times (on
the fifteenth attempt ALL doors will
lock and the key fob RKE transmitter
will be locked in the vehicle). This will
happen even when pressing RH
button on the right lower part of the

Power Windows The window controls on the driver's
door panel govern all the door
windows.
There are single window controls on
each passenger door trim panel, which
operate the corresponding window.
The window controls will operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ACC
or RUN position. NOTE:
• The power window switches will
remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position. Opening either
front door will cancel this feature.
The time lapse can be set. See “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls” for
further information.
• Frequent activations of the power
windows could result in a temporary
lock out of the motors. In this case,
wait a moment before a new
activation.
WARNING!
Improper use of the power windows
and the sunroof (if equipped) can
however be dangerous, even with the
anti-pinch prevention system. Before
and during activation of the power
window, always check that the
passengers are not exposed to the risk
of injury both by the moving window
and by personal objects that could be
dragged or hit by it. Do not leave
unattended children in a vehicle with
a key fob RKE transmitter inside.
When getting out the vehicle, always
remove the key fob RKE transmitter to prevent the windows being

is a normal occurrence and can be
minimized. If the buffeting occurs
with the rear windows open, open the
front and rear windows together to
minimize the buffeting. If the
buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, then adjust the sunroof opening
to minimize the buffeting.Before Starting

belt webbing into position by
extending the belt all the way out
and then adjusting the belt to the
desired length to restrain a child seat
