Walk Away Auto Lock Function (If Equipped)
The walk away auto lock system detects where the remote is and locks all the doors and the tailgate (if equipped) on the vehicle when all the doors and tailgate are closed and the remote is outside of the vehicle and out of the range.
To operate the walk away auto lock system, it is necessary to enter the auto lock mode.
To enter the auto lock mode, all of the following conditions must be met:
- The vehicle is in the OFF (LOCK) mode.
- All the doors including the tailgate (if equipped) are closed.
- The remote is not inside of the vehicle.
- The remote is outside and within 1.5 m (5 ft) from the vehicle.
The vehicle's buzzer beeps once to confirm that the auto lock mode is engaged.
When the remote is carried beyond 1.5 m (5 ft) from the vehicle and remains outside of this range for more than 2 seconds, the system engages and locks all of the doors including the tailgate (if equipped). At that time, the keyless buzzer sounds and some exterior lights will flash. However, if the remote remains within 1.5 m (5 ft) from the vehicle for 30 seconds or more after entering the auto lock mode, the doors and tailgate will automatically lock.
The system does not work under the following conditions:
- The remote is inside of the vehicle.
- If the remote is away more than 1.5 m (5 ft) from the vehicle after closing all the doors and tailgate (if equipped).
- If a communication error occurs between the remote and the vehicle.
The walk away auto lock system can be cancelled temporarily by customization.
