of welcome and security as the operator
approaches the vehicle in the dark. “Headlight

not activate if the doors are locked and the ignition
was placed in the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
Proximity Wake-Up may not activate under the
following conditions:

After numerous consecutive activations, in
order to conserve the vehicle’s battery

After the vehicle’s engine has been off for
several days
