Using the Keyless Access System

When you carry the keyless remote, you can lock/unlock the doors and fuel fill door, and open the tailgate.

You can lock/unlock the doors, fuel fill door, and tailgate within a radius of about 32 inches (80 cm) from the outside door handle or tailgate outer handle.

  1. The door may be unlocked if the door handle is covered with water in heavy rain or in a car wash if the keyless remote is within range.

The light flash, beep, and door unlock mode settings can be customized using the audio/information screen.

Customized Features

Models with puddle lights

When you go into the keyless access system working range with all the doors locked, the puddle lights come on for 30 seconds.

The lights do not come on if you have previously stayed within the range for more than two minutes, or the doors have been locked for few days.

The feature activates again after you drive the vehicle, then lock the doors.

You can also unlock and open the power tailgate.

Opening/Closing the Power Tailgate

Please wipe off any residue such as car shampoo, groundwater, or anti-freeze in the vicinity of the outside door handle, as there is a risk that the keyless access system may not work properly.

Conditions under which you may not be able to lock/unlock the doors and tailgate

  1. If you grip a door handle or touch a door lock sensor wearing gloves, the door sensor may be slow to respond or may not respond by unlocking or locking the doors.
  2. After locking the door, you have up to two seconds during which you can pull the door handle to confirm whether the door is locked. If you need to unlock the door immediately after locking it, wait at least two seconds before gripping the handle, otherwise the door will not unlock.
  3. The door might not open if you pull it immediately after gripping the door handle. Grip the handle again and confirm that the door is unlocked before pulling the handle.
  4. Even within the 32 inches (80 cm) radius, you may not be able to lock/unlock the doors and tailgate with the keyless remote if it is above or below the outside handle.
  5. The keyless remote may not operate if it is too close to the door, door glass, or tailgate.
