Features of your vehicle

Smart key

If the smart key is in close proximity
to your cell phone or smart phone,
the signal from the smart key could
be blocked by normal operation of
your cell phone or smart phone. This
is especially important when the
phone is active, such as when mak-
ing calls, receiving calls, text mes-
saging, and/or sending/receiving
emails. Avoid placing the smart key
and your cell phone or smart phone
in the same pants or jacket pocket
and maintain adequate distance
between the two devices.

NOTICE

To prevent the electronic key from
becoming damaged by magnetic
fields, do not leave it near the fol-
lowing electrical appliances:
䳜 TVs
䳜 Personal computers
䳜 Cellular phones, cordless phones

and battery chargers

䳜 Table lamps
䳜 Induction cookers

NOTICE

If you have to leave the vehicle's key
with a parking attendant, remove
the mechanical key for your own
use and provide the attendant with
the electronic key only.

NOTICE

When bringing a key with wireless
remote control function onto an air-
plane, make sure you do not press
any button on the key while inside
the cabin. If you are carrying the key
in your bag etc., make sure that the
buttons cannot be pressed acciden-
tally. If you press a button, the key
may emit radio waves that could
interfere with the operation of the
aircraft.

posed battery can be
harmful to the environ-

ment and human health. Dispose

Theft-alarm system

Theft-alarm system

The theft-alarm system is designed
to provide protection from unau-
thorized entry into the vehicle.

This system is operated in three
stages: the first is the "Armed"
stage, the second is the "Theft-
alarm" stage, and the third is the
"Disarmed" stage. If triggered, the
system provides an audible alarm
with blinking of the hazard warning
lights.

Armed stage

Park the vehicle and stop the
engine. Arm the system as
described below.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Make sure that all doors, the hood

and liftgate are closed and
latched.

3. Lock the doors by pressing the

button of the front outside door
handle with the smart key in your
possession.
After completion of the steps
above, the hazard warning lights
will operate once to indicate that
the system is armed.
If any door (or liftgate) or hood
remains open, the hazard warning
lights and the chime will not oper-
ate and the theft-alarm will not
arm. If all doors, liftgate and hood
are closed after the lock button is
pressed, the hazard warning
lights blink once.
The system can also be armed by
locking the doors with the key
from the front doors; however,
the hazard warning lights will not

Theft-alarm system

NOTICE

Do not arm the system until all pas-
sengers have left the vehicle. If the
system is armed while a passen-
ger(s) remains in the vehicle, the
alarm may be activated when the
remaining passenger(s) leaves the
vehicle. If any door (or liftgate) or
hood is opened within 30 seconds
after the system enters the armed
stage, the system will be disarmed
to prevent unnecessary alarm.

Theft-alarm stage

The alarm will be activated if any of
the following occurs while the sys-
tem is armed.
䳜 A front or rear door is opened

without using the smart key.

䳜 The liftgate is opened without

using the smart key.

䳜 The hood is opened.

The horn will sound and the hazard
warning lights will blink continuously
for approximately 27 seconds, and
the horn will repeat 3 times unless
the system is disarmed. To turn off
the system, unlock the doors with
the transmitter (or smart key).

Disarmed stage

The system will be disarmed when:
䳜 The door unlock button is

pressed.

䳜 The button of the front outside

door is pressed while carrying the
smart key.

䳜 The engine is started. (within 3

seconds)

After pressing the unlock button,
the hazard warning lights will blink
and the chime will sound twice (in
smart key) to indicate that the sys-
tem is disarmed.

After pressing the unlock button, if
any door (or liftgate) is not opened
within 30 seconds, the system will
be rearmed.

NOTICE

䳜 Avoid trying to start the engine

while the alarm is activated. The
vehicle starting motor is disabled
during the theft-alarm stage.
If the system is not disarmed with
the transmitter, turn the ENGINE
START/STOP button to the ON
position and wait for 30 seconds.
Then the system will be disarmed.
