FCC Warning: Changes not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

FCC – Radio Frequency Devices
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Keyless Go Zones
The Keyless Go function for vehicle locking and ignition will operate when a vehicle key is inside the vehicle cabin or in one of the below reception zones:
The vehicle key is only needed in one of the reception zones for Keyless Go. For example, the vehicle key can be in the rear reception zone and the passenger side door can be unlocked.

Using Keyless Entry
To unlock the vehicle with Keyless-Go active, fully push at point (A) and grab the emerging door release. The front edge of the door handle will press a switch and search for the vehicle key signal. If the system recognizes a valid key signal, the door will unlock and open.

Hands-Free Access

Warning: Make sure there is sufficient clearance under the rear of the vehicle and that you stand on firm ground. It is possible you could lose your balance on some surfaces, such as on ice.
The vehicle exhaust system can become very hot. To prevent injury make sure you only move your foot in the detection range of the sensors .

Caution: Do not touch the bumper when you move your foot to operate the system. If you do, you can cause damage the bumper.

The hands-free access system may not function correctly if there is a build-up of dirt, road salt or snow around the sensors.
It is possible the deck lid could be released unintentionally, such as when the rear bumper is being cleaned, or in an automatic car wash. Do not carry the vehicle key with you in such situations. This will prevent unintentional opening or closing of the deck lid.

Hands-free access can be used to release the catch for the deck lid. To operate, quickly move your foot under the rear bumper.

For the hands-free access system to operate:

1. The vehicle key must be in the rear Keyless Go detection area of the vehicle (Refer to ’Keyless Go Zones’, page 2.4).
2. The engine must not be running.

If the deck lid does not release after several attempts, wait at least 10 seconds before you try again.
If you hold your foot under the bumper for too long, the deck lid will not release.

Closing the Deck Lid
Push the deck lid down and make sure that the catch engages. Once the catch engages, it automatically closes. If the deck lid is slammed shut, this is overridden.
If a vehicle key is left in the luggage compartment and the deck lid is closed, but the rest of the vehicle is locked, the latch will not engage. The key(s) must be removed from the luggage compartment before the deck lid can be locked. If a second key is in range outside the vehicle the latch will engage and lock the deck lid. There will also be an audible or visible lock confirmation dependant on settings.

Emergency Access and Start

Emergency Key
If the vehicle key fails to operate, or the vehicle battery is fully discharged, use the emergency key to lock or unlock the vehicle.

Open the door handle and insert the emergency key in the door lock and turn clockwise. Only that door will be unlocked. If the security system was armed, the alarm will start. To stop the alarm insert the vehicle key (even if the vehicle key has lost all power) into the emergency ignition slot and move to position ‘II’ (ignition ON).

Caution: If the vehicle has lost power, the door may require extra effort to open due to the window not dropping down. If this does happen, gently press against the top of the window whilst opening the door.
If the vehicle battery is fully discharged, the emergency key will only lock or unlock the left side door. The right side door can be unlocked from inside the vehicle, but unless power is supplied to the vehicle, that door cannot be locked again.

Even if the vehicle key has lost all power it will start the engine when used in the emergency ignition slot.

Anti-Theft Systems

Introduction
This vehicle is protected by an electronic security system which includes:

1. Remote arm and disarm
2. Perimeter sensing
3. Remote door, deck lid fuel flap release lock and unlock
4. Alarm siren with battery backup (Only in markets where audible sirens are permitted.)
5. Random code encryption to prevent electronic scanning of the vehicle key identity code
6. Engine Immobilizer
7. Interior movement and tilt (tow-away) sensor.

When the security system is armed, any attempt to forcibly open a door, the deck lid or the hood will result in full alarm operation.

Warning:
Do not use the transceiver with any garage door opening system that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by safety standards. A garage door opening system which cannot detect an object, signalling the door to stop and reverse increases risk of serious injury or death.
When the transceiver is being programmed to a garage door opening system, make sure that people, the vehicle and objects are clear to prevent injury or damage as the garage door or gate will operate during the programming.

FCC Warning:
This device complies with FCC rules part 15 and Industry Canada RSS-210. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference that may be received including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Rolling Code Synchronisation
To check if the garage door opener (or other device) has a rolling code feature:

1. Check the garage door opener manual.
2. The remote control programs the HomeLink system, but HomeLink buttons do not operate the garage door opener.
3. Press and hold down the programmed HomeLink button. For a rolling code system, the LED flashes quickly and then stays ON constantly for 2 seconds. This pattern repeats itself for up to 20 seconds.

To program a rolling code system, it must be synchronized with this system again before it will function correctly.
