Features of your vehicle
Unlocking
Pressing the button of the front out-
side door handles with all doors (and
tailgate) closed and locked, unlocks
all the doors (and tailgate). The haz-
ard warning lights blink twice to indi-
cate that all doors (and tailgate) are
unlocked.
The button will only operate when
the smart key is within 0.7~1 m
(28~40 in.) from the outside door
handle.
When the smart key is recognized in
the area of 0.7~1 m (28~40 in.) from
the front outside door handle, other
people can also open the door with-
out possession of the smart key.
After pressing the button, the doors
will lock automatically unless you
open any door within 30 seconds.
Tailgate unlocking
If you are within 0.7 m ~ 1 m (28 ~ 40
in.) from the outside tailgate handle,
with your smart key in possession,
the tailgate will unlock and open
when you press the tailgate handle
switch.
The hazard warning lights will blink
twice to indicate that the tailgate is
unlocked.
Also, once the tailgate is opened and
then closed, the tailgate will lock auto-
matically.
Start-up
You can start the engine without
inserting the key. For detailed infor-
mation refer to “Starting the engine
with a smart key” in chapter 6.
