If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
NOTE
• Some models do not have the seat
belt warning function for the front
passenger's seat.
•
Placing heavy items on the front
passenger seat may cause the front
passenger seat belt warning function to
operate depending on the weight of the
item.
•
To allow the front passenger seat
weight sensor to function properly, do
not place and sit on an additional seat
cushion on the front passenger seat.
The sensor may not function properly
because the additional seat cushion
could cause sensor interference.
•
When a small child sits on the front
passenger seat, it is possible that the
warning beep will not operate.
Ignition Not Switched Off (STOP)
Warning Beep
If the driver's door is opened while
the ignition is switched to ACC, a
continuous beep sound will be heard to
notify the driver that the ignition has not
been switched off (STOP). Left in this
condition, the keyless entry system will
not operate, the car cannot be locked, and
the battery power will be depleted.
Key Removed from Vehicle
Warning Beep
Under the following conditions, a beep
sound will be heard and the KEY warning
light (red) will fl ash continuously when
the ignition has not been switched off to
notify the driver that the key has been
removed. The KEY warning light (red)
will stop fl ashing when the key is back
inside the vehicle:
• The ignition has not been switched
off and all the doors are closed after
removing the key from the vehicle. (A
beep sound will be heard 6 times.)
NOTE
Because the key utilizes low-intensity
radio waves, the Key Removed From
Vehicle Warning may activate if the key is
carried together with a metal object or it is
placed in a poor signal reception area.
Request Switch Inoperable
Warning Beep (With the advanced
keyless function)
If the request switch is pressed under
the following conditions while the key
is being carried, a beep will be heard for
about 2 seconds to indicate that the front
doors and the trunk can not be locked.
• A door is open (door ajar included).
• The ignition has not been switched to
off.
