Intelligent Key System

This system allows you to lock and unlock all doors (including the fuelfiller lid), open the trunk, and start and stop the engine without removing the Intelligent Key from your pocket or bag.

Note: When entering/exiting the vehicle and starting/stopping the engine, the Intelligent Key should be on “your person” (in a pocket or bag).

■ the amber indicators on both sides of the port will flash,

■ a repetitive beep tone will sound, and
