unlocking will change as follows:

1. Driver’s door unlocking mode: If you

perform smart unlocking operation on

the driver’s door, it will unlock. Per-

forming unlocking operation on the

front passenger’s door or back door

will unlock all the doors. When the

system switches to this mode, one

beep sounds inside the vehicle and two

beeps sound three times.

D If a large amount of water is ap-

plied to the outside door handle or

the back door 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 front door handle is

not pulled out or back door opener

not pushed, the doors will lock au-

tomatically after about 30 seconds.

2. All doors unlocking mode: Performing

smart unlocking operation on either

front door or back door will unlock all

the doors. When the system switches

to this mode, one beep sounds inside

the vehicle and two beeps sound twice.

D To ensure the unlocking door(s),

3 seconds after getting close to the

vehicle (about 1 m or 3 ft. from the

front doors or back door). If it

takes longer than that, unlocking

function may not be enabled.

3. Single door unlocking mode: The

driver’s door or back door on which

you perform smart unlocking operation

will unlock. However, performing un-

locking operation on the front passen-

ger’s door will unlock all the doors.

When the system switches to this

mode, one beep sounds inside the ve-

hicle and two beeps sound once.

D If you bring the smart key very

close to the outside door handle or

the back door opener, the doors

might not lock.
