Features of your vehicle
Unlocking
Pressing the button of the front out-
side door handles with all doors (and
tailgate) closed and locked, unlocks
all the doors (and tailgate). The haz-
ard warning lights will blink twice to
indicate that all doors (and tailgate)
are unlocked. The button will only
operate when the smart key is within
0.7 ~ 1m (28 ~ 39.3 in) from the out-
side door handle.
When the smart key is recognized in
the area of 0.7 ~ 1m (28 ~ 39.3 in)
from the front outside door handle,
other people can also open a door
without possession of the smart key.
Tailgate unlocking
If you are within 0.7 ~ 1m (28 ~ 39.3
in) from the outside tailgate handle,
with your smart key in possession,
the tailgate will unlock and open
when you press the tailgate handle
switch.
The hazard warning lights will blink
twice to indicate that the tailgate is
unlocked.
Also, once the tailgate is opened and
then closed, the tailgate will lock
automatically.
Start-up
You can start the engine without
inserting the key. For detailed infor-
mation refer to “Starting the engine
with a smart key” in chapter 6.
Transmitter precautions
The transmitter will not work if any of
the following occurs:
The ignition key is in the ignition
switch. (for folding key)
Another vehicle’s smart key is being
operated close to your vehicle.
You exceed the operating distance
limit (about 10 m [30 feet]).
The battery in the transmitter is
weak.
Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
The weather is extremely cold.
The transmitter is close to a radio
transmitter such as a radio station or
an airport which can interfere with
normal operation of the transmitter.
If the transmitter is in close proximi-
ty to your cell phone or smart phone,
the signal from the transmitter could
be blocked by normal operation of
your cell phone or smart phone. This
is especially important when the
phone is active such as making call,
receiving calls, text messaging,
and/or sending/ receiving emails.
