Even though you press the button,
the doors will not lock and the chime
sounds if any of the following occurs:
• The smart key is in the vehicle.
• The ENGINE START/STOP button
is in the ACC or ON position.
• Any door except the trunk (tailgate)
is opened.
Unlocking
Pressing the button of the front out-
side door handles with all doors (and
trunk or tailgate) closed and locked,
unlocks all the doors (and trunk or tail-
gate). The hazard warning lights will
blink twice to indicate that all doors
(and trunk or tailgate) are unlocked.
The button will only operate when the
smart key is within 0.7 m (28 in.) from
the outside door handle.
When the smart key is recognized in
the area of 0.7 m (28 in.) from the
front outside door handle, other peo-
ple can also open a door without
possession of the smart key.
Features of your vehicle

The hazard warning lights will blink
twice to indicate that the trunk (tail-
gate) is unlocked.
Also, once the trunk (tailgate) is
opened and then closed, the trunk
(tailgate) will lock automatically.
