push-button ignition switch off. It is not
possible to lock the doors and rear gate

the push-button ignition switch is on the
“ACC” or “ON” position. Refer to “Switch-
ing power” F3-6.

gloved hand, the door lock may not be
released.
. If the door lock sensor is touched three
times or more repeatedly, the system will
ignore the sensor operation.

dure too quickly, locking may not have
