This system uses the more traditional key
buttons to remotely lock and unlock the
doors and opens the trunk lid, and opens
the power windows.
It can also help you signal for attention.
Press the buttons slowly and carefully.

l
to operate up to about 2.5 m (8 ft)

this may vary due to local
conditions.
The system does not operate when

pressing the lock button while either
door is open. The hazard warning
lights will also not flash.
