Locking
To lock :
1. Close all doors, engine hood and tailgate.

3. The hazard warning lights will blink and the chime will sound once.
4. Make sure the doors are locked by checking the position of the door lock button inside the vehicle.
✽ NOTICE
The door handle button will only operate when the smart key is within 28~40 in. (0.7~1 m) from the outside door handle.
Even though you press the outside door handle button, the doors will not lock and the chime will sound for three seconds if any of the following occur:
- The Smart Key is in the vehicle.
- The Engine Start/Stop button is in ACC or ON position.
- Any door except the tailgate is open.
WARNING
Do not leave the Smart Key in your vehicle with unsupervised children. Unattended children could press the Engine Start/ Stop button and may operate power windows or other controls, or even make the vehicle move, which could result in serious injury or death.
Unlocking
To unlock:
1. Carry the Smart Key.
2. Either press the door handle button or press the Door Unlock button (2) on the smart key.

- After unlocking the doors, the doors will lock automatically after 30 seconds unless a door is opened.

CAUTION
To prevent damaging the smart key:
