Tips

If your vehicle is left standing for a long period of time, note the following:

  • The proximity sensor switches off after a few days to save energy. You then have to pull once on the door handle to unlock the vehicle and a second time to open it.
  • The energy management system gradually turns off unnecessary convenience functions to prevent the vehicle battery from draining and to maintain the vehicle's ability to start for as long as possible. You may not be able to unlock your vehicle using the convenience key.
  • For an explanation on conformity with the FCC regulations in the United States and the Industry Canada regulations.
