KEYS AND DOORS INFORMATION D When unlocking the door(s), be sure to take hold of the back side of the outside door handle firmly as shown in the illustration. Taking hold of the handle with a gloved hand might cause a delay in unlocking or may not unlock. D When you take hold of the handle to unlock the door(s), be sure to confirm that the door(s) has(have) been unlocked. If the emergency flashers flash twice, two beeps sound outside the vehicle and the smart indicator starts blinking, the doors are unlocked. At this time, you can pull the outside door handle to open the door. If you quickly move closer to the vehicle or pull the outside door handle quickly, the doors might not unlock. If you cannot open the door by pulling the outside door handle at this time, push it back to the original position and then pull it out again. D If you bring the smart key very close to the outside door handle, the doors might not unlock. D If another person who is not carrying a smart key takes hold of an outside door handle when you are within the effective range of the smart key system, the door(s) may not unlock. D If a large amount of water is applied to the outside door handle 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 door handle is not pulled out, the doors will lock automatically after about 30 seconds. 29
