Check that the buzzer sounds 5 times, and the hazard light flashes 5 times to notify the door not being fully closed. Next, close all the doors including rear gate.

Alarm sound operational check

• The system uses the buzzer and sounds the alarm when the door is locked or unlocked. The alarm sound can be turned OFF. To turn the alarm sound from ON to OFF, close all doors, (with the key not inserted in the key cylinder), hold down the "UNLOCK" side of the power door lock switch and insert the key in the key cylinder. Within 10 seconds, insert and take out the key for 5 times or more, and within 10 seconds after that, open and close the driver's door. With the door closed, the hazard light will flash 3 times, indicating that the alarm sound has been turned OFF. To turn the alarm sound from OFF to ON, perform this procedure again. The hazard light will flash 3 times, indicating that the alarm has been turned ON.
