If the key is left in the following areas
and you leave the vehicle, the doors may
be locked depending on the radio wave
conditions even if the key is left in the
vehicle.
Around the instrument panel
In the storage compartments such as
the glove compartment or the centre
console
On the rear parcel shelf (saloon)
Next to a communication device such

When the ignition is switched to ACC or
ON, the vehicle lock-out prevention
feature prevents you from locking
yourself out of the vehicle.
All the doors, fuel-filler flap, and
liftgate/boot lid will automatically
unlock if they are locked using the
power door locks with any door or
liftgate open.
If all the doors are closed even though
the liftgate/boot lid is open, all the doors
will lock.
The vehicle lock-out prevention feature
does not operate while the ignition is
switched off.
When all doors, fuel-filler flap, and
liftgate/boot lid are locked using the
power door lock with any door or the
liftgate/boot lid open, the closed doors,
fuel-filler flap, and liftgate/boot lid are
locked. After that, when all doors and
the liftgate/boot lid are closed, all doors,
fuel-filler flap, and liftgate/boot lid are
locked. However, if the key is inside the
vehicle, all doors, fuel-filler flap, and
liftgate/boot lid are automatically
unlocked.
(With the advanced keyless function)
The beep sound is heard for about 10
seconds to notify the driver that the key
has been left in the vehicle.
(Without the advanced keyless
function)
The horn sound is heard twice to notify
the driver that the key has been left in
the vehicle.
(Door unlock (control) system with
collision detection)
This system automatically unlocks the
doors, fuel-filler flap, and liftgate/boot
lid in the event the vehicle is involved in
an accident to allow passengers to get
out of the vehicle immediately and
prevent being trapped inside. While the
ignition is switched ON and in the event
the vehicle receives an impact strong
enough to inflate the air bags, all the
doors, fuel-filler flap, and liftgate/boot
lid are automatically unlocked after
about 6 seconds have elapsed from the
time of the accident.
The doors, fuel-filler flap, and liftgate/
boot lid may not unlock depending on
how an impact is applied, the force of
the impact, and other conditions of the
accident.
