Locking and Unlocking the Doors

Key

This vehicle comes with the following keys:

Use the keys to start and stop the engine, and to lock and unlock all the doors and 
tailgate.

The built-in key can be used to lock/unlock the 
doors when the keyless remote battery 
becomes weak and the power door lock/ 
unlock operation is disabled.

To remove the built-in key, slide the release 
knob and then pull out the key. To reinstall 
the built-in key, push the built-in key into the 
keyless remote until it clicks.

All the keys have an immobilizer system. The 
immobilizer system helps to protect against vehicle

Immobilizer System

 P. 200

Follow the advice below to prevent damage to the 
keys:

•

Do not leave the keys in direct sunlight, or in 
locations with high temperature or high humidity.

•

Do not drop the keys or set heavy objects on them.

•

Keep the keys away from liquids, dust and sand.

•

Do not take the keys apart except for replacing the 
battery.

If the circuits in the keys are damaged, the engine 
may not start, and the remote transmitter may not 
work.
If the keys do not work properly, have them 
inspected by a dealer.

Low Keyless Remote Signal Strength

Low Keyless Remote Signal Strength

*

The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the keyless remote when locking/
unlocking the doors and tailgate, or to start the engine.

In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors and tailgate, or starting the 
engine may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:

•

Strong radio waves are being transmitted by nearby equipment.

•

You are carrying the keyless remote together with telecommunications 
equipment, laptop computers, mobile phones, or wireless devices.

•

A metallic object is touching or covering the keyless remote.

1

Low Keyless Remote Signal Strength

*

Communication between the keyless remote and the 
vehicle consumes the keyless remote’s battery.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies 
depending on regularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the keyless 
remote is receiving strong radio waves. Avoid placing 
it near electrical appliances such as televisions and 
personal computers.
