Using the Remote Transmitter

You cannot lock any doors from the outside when 
the keyless remote is inside the vehicle, and the 
beeper sounds. If you want to lock a door while the 
remote is still in the vehicle, do any of the following 
four times:

•

Press the lock button on the keyless remote.

•

Touch the door lock sensor on the front door or 
press the lock button on the tailgate.

The remote transmitter uses low-power signals, so 
the operating range may vary depending on the 
surroundings.

If the distance at which the remote transmitter works 
varies, the battery is probably low.
If the LED does not come on when you press a 
button, the battery is dead.

Security System

Immobilizer System

The immobilizer system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from

•

Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the 

POWER

 button.
