  Check keyless answer-back buzzer operation

• The system uses the buzzer and sounds the keyless answer-back buzzer when the door is locked or unlocked. The keyless answer-back buzzer can be turned OFF. To turn the keyless answer-back buzzer from ON to OFF, close all doors, (with the key not inserted into the key cylinder), hold down the "UNLOCK" side of the power door lock switch and insert the key into 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 keyless answer-back buzzer has been turned OFF. To turn the keyless answer-back buzzer from OFF to ON, perform this procedure again. The hazard light will flash 3 times, indicating that the keyless answer-back buzzer has been turned ON.
