When the keyless remote is within the system’s
operational range, and all the doors are closed, the
warning function cancels.
When the power mode is set to any mode
other than OFF and you remove the keyless
remote from the vehicle and shut the door, an
alarm will sound. If the alarm continues to
sound, place the keyless remote in another
location.
If the keyless remote is taken out of the vehicle after
the power system has been started, you can no
longer change the POWER button mode or restart
the power system. Always make sure if the keyless
remote is in your vehicle when you operate the

An alarm will sound both inside and outside the
vehicle. In addition, a warning indicator will
appear on the instrument panel.
Do not put the keyless remote on the dashboard or in
the glove box. It may cause the warning buzzer to go
