When you take hold of the handle
or push the back door opener to
unlock the door(s), be sure to con-
firm that the door(s) have been un-
locked. If the two beeps and the
turn signal lights flash twice, the
doors are unlocked. At this time,
you can pull the outside door han-
dle or push the back door opener to
open the door. If you quickly move
closer to the vehicle or pull the out-
side door handle or push the back
door opener quickly, the doors
might not unlock. If you cannot
open the door by pulling the out-
side door handle or pushing the
back door at this time, push back
the outside door handle to the origi-
nal position or release your hand
from the back door and then try
again.

If you bring the smart key very
close to the outside door handle or
the back door opener, the doors
might not lock.

If another person who is not carry-
ing a smart key takes hold of an
outside door handle or push the
back door opener when you are
within the effective range of the
smart function, the door(s) may not
unlock.
D
If a large amount of water is ap-
plied to the outside door handle or
the back door during heavy rain or
a car wash, and someone carrying a
smart key is near the vehicle, the
door(s) might be unlocked. However,
if the outside front door handle is
not pulled out or back door opener
not pushed, the doors will lock au-
tomatically after about 30 seconds.
D
To ensure the unlocking door(s),
perform unlocking operation within
3 seconds after getting close to the
vehicle (about 1 m or 3 ft. from the
front doors or back door). If it
takes longer than that, unlocking
function may not be enabled.
CHANGING THE DOORS TO BE UN-
LOCKED
Each time you push the lock button
together with the panic button on the
smart key for about 5 seconds with the
hybrid system off, the setting for door
unlocking will change as follows:
1. Driver’s door unlocking mode: If you
perform smart unlocking operation on
the driver’s door, it will unlock. Per-
forming unlocking operation on the
front passenger’s door or back door
will unlock all the doors. When the
system switches to this mode, one
beep sounds inside the vehicle and two
beeps sound three times.
2. All doors unlocking mode: Performing
smart unlocking operation on either
front door or back door will unlock all
the doors. When the system switches
to this mode, one beep sounds inside
the vehicle and two beeps sound twice.
3. Single door unlocking mode: The
driver’s door or back door on which
you perform smart unlocking operation
will unlock. However, performing un-
locking operation on the front passen-
ger’s door will unlock all the doors.
When the system switches to this
mode, one beep sounds inside the ve-
hicle and two beeps sound once.
