Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
With the ARIYA stopped, use the steering-wheel controls and scroll dial to open Settings in the vehicle information display.
- 02
Open Vehicle Settings, then Locking, and switch Approach Unlock to ON.
- 03
In the same Locking menu, switch Walk Away Lock to ON.
- 04
Close and lock every door, carry the Intelligent Key away, then approach a side door to verify the vehicle unlocks at roughly 3 ft (1 m).
- 05
Close every opening and walk beyond roughly 7 ft (2 m); confirm the hazard lights flash twice and physically verify the doors locked.
Important limits
- Enabling Approach Unlock automatically disables Selective Unlock; turning Selective Unlock back on disables Approach Unlock.
- Walk Away Lock will not operate if a door or liftgate is not securely closed, the EV system is running, or an Intelligent Key remains inside.
- Always verify the doors locked instead of relying only on the hazard-light confirmation.
Quick checks.
- ✓If approach unlock does not respond from the front, move closer to a side door with the Intelligent Key.
- ✓If the feature has been inactive after the vehicle sat locked for eight days, unlock and lock the vehicle once to reactivate it.
- ✓If walk-away locking fails, close every opening, switch the EV system off, and make sure no second key is inside.
