Operation Check [01/2017 - 05/2023]

  1. CHECK CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS 
    NOTE:

    The operation check below is based on the non-customized initial condition of the vehicle.

    Refer to CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS [01/2017 - 05/2023] 

  2. CHECK THE ENTRY UNLOCK FUNCTION 
    NOTE:

    When the door outside handle sub-assemblies are stuck due to being frozen and performing smart operations cannot be performed, open the door handles using the wireless operation. If the door handles still cannot be opened, pour hot water over them and try the operation again after they have thawed.

    1. Check the entry unlock function (driver door, front passenger door).
      1. Perform a wireless lock door operation to lock the door, press the depression on the door outside handle sub-assembly of the driver door while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that the door unlocks.
      2. Inspect the entry unlock detection area.
