seatbelt pretensioners, and one or both
stages of the dual-stage airbags based on
crash severity and occupant conditions.

ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the keyless entry system not
function?
If the system does not function it may
be limited. See Keyless Entry
Limitations (page 82). If the system
still does not function use the remote
control or the key blade to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
Why can I not lock my vehicle?
If you electronically lock your vehicle
with a rear door or the tailgate open,
the system searches for a passive key
inside your vehicle after you close the
last door. If the system detects a key,
all doors unlock indicating that a key
is inside. Your vehicle locks if another
passive key is within the detection
range after you close the last door.
Why does the passive key not work?
The system deactivates passive keys
left inside your vehicle when you lock
it. You cannot switch the ignition on
using a deactivated passive key. Press
the unlock button on the remote
control to reactivate a passive key.

BRAKES – FREQUENTLY ASKED


QUESTIONS
Is it normal for my brakes to make
noise?
Occasional brake noise is normal. If a
metal-to-metal, continuous grinding,
or continuous squeal sound is present,
the brake lining could be worn-out.
Have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.
There is an electrical motor sound
when I press on the brake pedal or
activate the park brake switch. Is this
normal?
Yes, those sounds are the electronic
brake booster or the electronic park
brake operating.
Note: Brake dust could accumulate on the
wheels, even under normal driving
conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the
brakes wear and does not contribute to
brake noise. See Cleaning Wheels (page
