Locking
OJF045003
Pressing the button of the front out‐
side door handles with all doors (and
trunk) closed and any door unlocked,
locks all the doors (and trunk). The haz‐
ard warning lights will blink once to in‐
dicate that all doors (and trunk) are
locked. The button will only operate
when the smart key is within 0.7 ~ 1 m
(28 ~ 40 in) from the outside door han‐
dle. If you want to make sure that a
door has locked or not, you should
check the door lock button inside the
vehicle or pull the outside door handle.
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 is opened.
Unlocking
Pressing the button of the front out‐
side door handles with all doors (and
trunk) closed and locked, unlocks all the
doors (and trunk). The hazard warning
lights will blink twice to indicate that all
doors (and trunk) are unlocked. The
button will only operate when the
smart key is within 0.7 ~ 1 m
(28 ~ 40 in) from the outside door han‐
dle.
When the smart key is recognized in
the area of 0.7 ~ 1 m (28 ~ 40 in) from
the front outside door handle, other
people can also open a door without
possession of the smart key.
Trunk unlocking
If you are within 0.7 ~ 1 m (28 ~ 40 in)
from the outside trunk handle, with
your smart key in possession, the trunk
will unlock and open when you press
the trunk handle switch.
The hazard warning lights will blink
twice to indicate that the trunk is un‐
locked.
Also, once the trunk is opened and then
closed, the trunk will lock automatically.
Start-up
You can start the engine without in‐
serting the key. For detailed informa‐
tion refer to Starting the engine with a
