Switching from two-step to one-step door unlocking

Your vehicle comes with two-step unlocking enabled. With the vehicle
locked, unlocking can be switched between two-step and one-step door
unlocking by pressing and holding both the

and

buttons

simultaneously on the remote entry transmitter for approximately four
seconds and release. The turn signal lamps will flash twice to indicate
that the vehicle has switched to one-step unlocking. Repeat the
procedure to switch back to two-step unlocking.

Unlocking cargo doors

•

Press

to unlock the cargo doors.

•

Within three seconds, press

again to unlock all the vehicle

doors.

Ensure that the cargo doors are closed and latched before driving your
vehicle. Failure to properly latch the cargo doors may cause objects to
fall out.

Locking the doors

•

Press

and release to lock all the doors. If all doors are closed the

turn signal lamps will flash twice.

Replacing the battery

The remote entry transmitter uses one coin type three-volt lithium
battery CR2032 or equivalent.

To replace the battery:

1. Carefully separate the transmitter
unit from the key using a flat object
(e.g. a screwdriver) at the recess on
the back.
