Doors and Locks
Luggage compartment lid
Note: The luggage compartment lid cannot
be closed and, will pop back up if the
passive key is located inside the vehicle with
the doors locked.
Note: If a second valid passive key is
located within the rear exterior detection
range, the luggage compartment lid can be
closed.
Unlocking the vehicle
Note: If the vehicle remains locked for
longer than three days, the keyless system
will enter an energy-saving mode. This is to
reduce the discharge of the vehicle battery.
When the vehicle is unlocked while in this
mode, the reaction time of the system may
be a little longer than normal. Unlocking the
vehicle once will deactivate the
energy-saving mode.
Note: If the vehicle remains locked for
several weeks, the keyless system will be
disabled. The vehicle must be unlocked
using the key blade. Unlocking the vehicle
once will enable the keyless system.
Note: Do not touch the front door handle
lock sensor when opening a door.
