Details on the Key
Use the keys to turn on and off the power system, and lock and unlock all the doors, tailgate, and charge lid.
Low Keyless Remote Signal Strength
The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the keyless remote to activate the power system; lock and unlock all the doors, tailgate, and charge lid.
In the following cases, activating the power system, locking/unlocking the doors, tailgate, and charge lid may be inhibited, or operation may be unstable:
- Strong radio waves are being transmitted from nearby devices such as quick chargers.
- You are carrying the keyless remote together with telecommunications equipment, laptop computers, mobile phones, or wireless devices.
- A metallic object is touching or covering the keyless remote.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies depending on regularity of use.
Communication between the keyless remote and the vehicle consumes the keyless remote’s battery.
- It is possible to reduce battery consumption by turning off radio wave reception. When you hold down the lock and unlock buttons at the same time for approximately three seconds, the LED will blink twice and radio wave reception will turn off.
If you press any button on the keyless remote once, it will begin receiving radio waves again.

- Do not leave the keys in direct sunlight, or in locations with high temperature or high humidity.
- Do not drop the keys or set heavy objects on them.
- Keep the keys away from liquids, dust, and sand.
- Do not take the keys apart except to replace the battery.



Keyless Remote Reminder
When the power mode is in ON
If you remove the keyless remote from the vehicle and shut the door, a warning indicator will display in the instrument panel, and warning buzzers will sound from both inside and outside the vehicle.
When the power mode is in ACCESSORY
If you remove the keyless remote from the vehicle and shut the door, a warning buzzer will sound from outside the vehicle.
- Do not put the keyless remote on the dashboard or in the glove box. It may cause the warning buzzer to sound.
- Under some other conditions that can prevent the vehicle from locating the remote, the warning buzzer may also sound even if the remote is within the system’s operational range.
- If the keyless remote is taken out of the vehicle after the power system has been turned on, you can no longer change the POWER button mode or restart the power system. Always make sure that the keyless remote is in your vehicle when you operate the POWER button.
- Removing the keyless remote from the vehicle through a window does not activate the warning buzzer.
Stopping the warning buzzer
When the keyless remote is within the system’s operational range and the driver’s door is closed, the warning function cancels.
- If the alarm continues to sound, place the keyless remote in another location.
Immobilizer System
This system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from starting the power system.
Pay attention to the following:
- Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the POWER button.
- Make sure the key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
- Do not bring a key from another vehicle’s immobilizer system near the POWER button.
- Do not put the key near magnetic items. Electronic devices, such as televisions and audio systems, emit strong magnetic fields. Note that even a key chain can become magnetic.


Immobilizer System Indicator
The immobilizer system indicator will blink in the instrument panel if the immobilizer system cannot recognise the key information when you have pressed POWER button.
Do not alter the system or add other devices to it. Doing so may damage the system and make your vehicle inoperable.
If the system repeatedly does not recognise the coding of your key, contact a dealer. If you have lost your key and cannot start your vehicle, contact a dealer.
Apply and hold the brake pedal before turning the vehicle on the first time after the 12-volt battery has been disconnected.

Security System Alarm
The security system alarm activates when the tailgate, bonnet, or doors are forcibly opened. The alarm does not activate if the tailgate or doors are opened with the remote transmitter or keyless access system.
Unlock the vehicle using the remote transmitter or keyless access system, or turn the power mode to ON. The system, along with the horn and flashing lights, is deactivated.
The security system alarm will continue for approximately 5 minutes before the security system deactivates.
The system will go through ten 30-second cycles, during which the horn will sound and an emergency indicator will flash.
Depending on circumstances, the security system may continue operating for more than 5 minutes.
Do not set the security system alarm when someone is in the vehicle or a window is open. The system can accidentally activate when:
- Unlocking the door with the lock tab.
- Opening the bonnet with the bonnet release.
If the 12-volt battery goes dead after you have set the security system alarm, the security alarm may sound once the 12-volt battery is recharged or replaced.
If this occurs, deactivate the security system alarm by unlocking a door using the remote transmitter or keyless access system.
Do not alter the system or add other devices to it. Doing so may damage the system and make your vehicle inoperable.
If you unlock a door with the built-in key while the security system is activated, the alarm will sound.
Setting the security system alarm
The security system alarm automatically sets when the following conditions have been met:
- The power mode is set to VEHICLE OFF.
- The bonnet is closed.
- All doors and the tailgate are locked from outside with the remote transmitter or keyless access system.
When the security system alarm sets
The security system alarm indicator in the instrument panel blinks and the blinking interval changes after about 15 seconds.
To cancel the security system alarm
The security system alarm is cancelled when the vehicle is unlocked using the remote transmitter or keyless access system, or when the power mode is set to ON. The security system alarm indicator goes off at the same time.
