Ignition Warning Chime

Sounds when you open the driver's door and the key is left in the ignition switch.

Two chimes sound when you exit the vehicle with the intelligent access key, after the last door is closed and your keyless vehicle is in RUN mode, indicating your vehicle is still on.

Headlamp On Warning Chime

Sounds when you remove the key from the ignition switch and open the driver's door and the headlamps or parking lamps are left on.

Parking Brake Warning Chime

Sounds when you drive the vehicle with the parking brake still applied. If the warning chime remains on after you release the parking brake, have the system checked by an authorized dealer immediately.
