lowing cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the win-
dow or outside door handle, near the
ground, or in a high place when the doors
are locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or

conditions, it may be detected by the
antenna outside the cabin and the doors
will become lockable from the outside,
