●

If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic key

is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the

entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)

●

A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle operation may prevent

the doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the original

position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle again.
