Door Lock/Unlock Feature Setting

The doors may lock or unlock if the outside door handle sensor detects contact during vehicle washing or heavy rain.

To prevent the doors from locking or unlocking unintentionally:

Press and hold the lock button on the Smart Key and immediately press the unlock button together with the lock button for more than 4 seconds. The hazard warning lights flash four times. During this time, the doors will not lock or unlock even if the touch sensor on the outside door handle is touched.

To cancel the function, press the door lock or unlock button on the Smart Key.

Information

During washing or rain, the touch sensor may become insensitive to minimize unintentional operation. This is not a malfunction.
