Important limits

  • Keep the vehicle in view and check for people, pets, rain and obstructions.
  • The windows and sunroof move only while Unlock is held.
  • Equipment differs by trim, so a vehicle without a glass sunroof only operates installed openings.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If nothing moves, unlock first and then hold Unlock rather than using only a quick press.
  • ✓Move closer and check the key battery if range is poor.
  • ✓If one opening does not respond, verify its initialization and equipment in the integrated owner's manual.
