Features of your vehicle
104
With a smart key, you can lock or unlock
a door (and trunk) and even start the
engine without inserting the key.
The functions of buttons on a smart key
are similar to the remote keyless entry.
(Refer to the “Remote keyless entry” in this
section.)
Smart key functions
Carrying the smart key, you may lock and
unlock the vehicle doors (and trunk).
Also, you may start the engine. Refer to
the following, for more details.
Locking
Pressing the button of the front outside
door handles with all doors (and trunk)
closed and any door unlocked, locks all
the doors (and trunk). If all doors (and
trunk) and engine bonnet are closed, the
hazard warning lights will blink once to
indicate 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 handle. If you want
to make sure that a door has locked or
not, you should check the door lock but-
ton inside the vehicle (except Europe) or
pull the outside door handle.
Even though you press the outside door
handle buttons, the doors will not lock
and the chime will sound for 3 seconds if
any of following occur:
• 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 open.
Unlocking
Pressing the button of the front outside
door handles with all doors (and trunk)
closed and locked, unlocks all the doors
(and trunk). The hazard warning lights
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 handle.
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 the door without possession of
the smart key.
