Before Driving
Doors and Locks
NOTE
When the ignition is switched to ACC or
l
ON, the vehicle lock-out prevention feature
prevents you from locking yourself out of
the vehicle.
All doors will automatically unlock if they
are locked using the power door locks with
any door open.
The vehicle lock-out prevention feature
does not operate while the ignition is
switched off.
When any door is opened from the outside
while the key is inside the vehicle, the
closed doors are locked. All the doors are
automatically unlocked by closing the open
door.
(With the advanced keyless function)
The beep sound is heard for about 10
seconds to notify the driver that the key has
been left in the vehicle.
(Without the advanced keyless function)
The horn sound is heard twice to notify the
driver that the key has been left in the
vehicle.
(Door unlock (control) system with
l
collision detection)
This system automatically unlocks the
doors in the event the vehicle is involved in
an accident to allow passengers to get out
of the vehicle immediately and prevent
being trapped inside. While the ignition is
switched ON and in the event the vehicle
receives an impact strong enough to inflate
the air bags, all the doors are automatically
unlocked after about 6 seconds have
elapsed from the time of the accident.
The doors may not unlock depending on
how an impact is applied, the force of the
impact, and other conditions of the
accident.
If door-related systems or the battery is
malfunctioning, the doors will not unlock.
