Door locks
& Locking and unlocking from
the outside
NOTE
If you unlock the driver’s door with a
key (including an emergency key) and
open the door while the alarm system
is armed, the alarm system is triggered
and the vehicle’s horn sounds. In this
case, perform any of the following
operations:
Models with “keyless access with
push-button start system”:
. Press any button on the access key
fob (except when the battery of the
access key fob is discharged).
. Turn the push-button ignition switch
to the “ACC” position.
To lock the driver’s door from the outside
with the key, turn the key toward the front.
To unlock the door, turn the key toward the
rear. Pull the outside door handle to open
an unlocked door.
NOTE
The emergency key is directional. If the
key cannot be inserted, change the
direction that the grooved side is
facing and insert it again.
To lock the door from outside without the
key, the following methods are available.
Models without “keyless access with
push-button start system”:
. Press any button on the remote
transmitter (except when the transmit-
ter battery is discharged).
. Insert the key into the ignition
switch and turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position.
For details about the alarm system,
refer to “Alarm system” F2-25.
