KEYS AND DOORS UNLOCKING THE DOOR(S) WITH ENTRY FUNCTION When the door(s) is(are) unlocked, the interior lights come on for 15 seconds if the interior light switch is in the "DOOR" position. However, the interior lights go out when you push the power door lock switch in the lock position or select the engine switch in "ACC" or "IG−ON" mode. For further information, see "Interior lights" on page 100. You have 30 seconds to open a door after operating the unlocking function. If a door is not opened by then, all the doors will be automatically locked again. G11032 INFORMATION When you take hold the back side of the outside door handle on the driver's door carrying an electronic key, the driver's door will be unlocked. When you take hold the back side of the outside door handle except on the driver's door, carrying an electronic key, all the doors will be unlocked. At this time, two beeps will sound and turn signal lights flash twice. When you get close to your vehicle (about 1 m (3 ft.) from each outside door handle), and are carrying the electronic key, the electronic code emitted from the key is automatically checked to determine if it corresponds to the registered ID code for the vehicle. After this, the outer foot lights come on. (For outer foot lights, see "Outer foot lights" on page 212.) You can select the doors to be unlocked. For details, see "Changing the doors to be unlocked" on page 24. 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 turn signal lights flash twice, two beeps sound outside the vehicle, 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. 23
