Walk Away Auto Lock Function (If Equipped)
The walk away auto lock system detects where the remote is and locks all doors on the vehicle when all the doors 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 the following conditions must be met:
- The vehicle is in the OFF (LOCK) mode
- Any door is opened, and then all the doors become closed.
- The remote is not inside of the vehicle.
- The remote is outside and within 1.5 m (4.9 ft) from the vehicle.
Once the system enters the auto lock mode, the vehicle's buzzer sounds once.
After the auto lock mode is engaged and the remote is away more than 1.5 m (4.9 ft) from the vehicle for 2 seconds or more, all the doors become locked. At that time, the vehicle's buzzer beeps once and some exterior lights blink once to confirm that the walk away lock system is engaged. However, if remote is within 1.5 m (4.9 ft) from the vehicle for 30 seconds or more, the doors automatically lock.
The walk away auto lock system does not work under the following conditions:
- The remote is inside of the vehicle
- Any door is closed when the remote is more than 1.5 m (4.9 ft) away from the vehicle.
- Any door is opened after the auto lock mode is engaged.
The walk away auto lock system does not work and the vehicle's buzzer beeps under the following conditions:
- The remote is away more than 1.5 m (4.9 ft) from the vehicle while closing the door.
- A communication error occurs between the remote and the vehicle.
The walk away auto lock system can be cancelled temporarily by using the customized settings. Refer to the owner's manual for more information.
