Driving your vehicle
The detecting range of the smart
key may vary depending on the
surroundings that are affected by
radio waves such as transmission
tower, broadcast station, etc.
When remotely moving forward
using method (1), it is recognised
as an exit situation, and the vehi-
cle moves 4 m (13 ft.) to check for
pedestrians, animals or objects
around the vehicle. After confir-
mation, the steering wheel is con-
trolled according to the condition
ahead.
When remotely moving forward
using method (2), it is recognised
as a parking situation, and will
immediately control the steering
wheel according to the condition
ahead to assist with entering the
parking space and aligning the
vehicle. However, performance
may reduce depending on the
pedestrians, animals, shape of
objects, location, etc. around the
vehicle.
For moving remotely backward,
both method (1) and (2) aligns the
steering wheel first, and then will
only move the vehicle straight.
When remotely moving forward
or backward is completed, the
vehicle will automatically shift to
P (Park) and engage EPB (Elec-
tronic Parking Brake).

tion.

ment of surrounding vehicles. If
this occurs, Remote Moving For-
ward/Backward function may not
operate.
