Operation Check





DOOR LOCK: WIRELESS DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM (w/o Smart Key System): OPERATION CHECK

1. FUNCTIONS AND OPERATING CONDITIONS

(a) The wireless door LOCK/UNLOCK function:

This wireless door lock control function operates only when the following 4 conditions are met:

(1) There is no key in the ignition key cylinder.

(2) All the doors are closed.

(3) The power door lock system is functioning normally.

(4) The function is not disabled by customization.

HINT
The UNLOCK function operates even when any of the doors are open.

(b) The wireless transmitter operational range differs depending on the situation.

(1) The operational range differs depending on the user, the way the transmitter is held and the location.

(2) In certain areas, the operational range will be reduced due to the vehicle body shape and the influence of the surrounding environment.

(3) Since the transmitter uses weak radio waves, the operational range may be reduced or the transmitter may not function if interference or stronger radio waves occur in the area where the transmitter is used.

(4) When the battery is low, the operational range is reduced and/or the transmitter may not function.

HINT
If the transmitter has been left in a place that is exposed to direct sunlight, such as on the instrument panel, the battery may be weakened or other problems may occur.
