Operating door locks from outside the vehicle

With the smart key

Carrying the smart key, you may lock and unlock the vehicle doors (and tailgate). Also, you may start the engine. Refer to the following for more details.

Locking

Pressing the button of the front door handles with all doors closed and any door unlocked, locks all the doors. If all doors and engine hood are closed, the hazard warning lights will blink once to indicate that all doors are locked.

The button will only operate when the smart key is within 0.7–1 m (28–40 inches) from the front door handle. If you want to make sure that a door has locked or not, you should pull the front door handle.

Even though you press the front door buttons, the doors will not lock and the chime will sound for 3 seconds if any of following occur:

  • The smart key is in the vehicle.

  • The ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ACC or ON position.

  • Any door except the tailgate is open.

Unlocking

Pressing the button of the front door handles with all doors closed and locked, unlocks all the doors. The hazard warning lights blink twice to indicate that all doors are unlocked.

The button will only operate when the smart key is within 0.7–1 m (28–40 inches) from the front door handle.

When the smart key is recognised in the area of 0.7–1 m (28–40 inches) from the front door handle, other people can also open the door without possession of the smart key.

After pressing the button, the doors will lock automatically unless you open any door within 30 seconds.

With the mechanical key

  1. Pull out the door handle.

  2. Press the lever (1) located inside the bottom part of the cover with a key or flat-head screwdriver.

  3. Push out the cover (2) whilst pressing the lever.

  4. Turn the key toward the rear of the vehicle to unlock and toward the front of the vehicle to lock.

NOTICE
  • Doors can also be locked and unlocked with the transmitter.

  • Once the doors are unlocked, they may be opened by pulling the door handle.

  • When closing the door, push the door by hand. Make sure the doors are closed securely.
