with the remote operating switch on the door.
Monitor the entire closing procedure to ensure that there is no risk of injury to anyone near the vehicle.

The remote operating switch can also be used if the SmartKey has been removed from the starter switch or the KEYLESS-GO key has been removed from the vehicle. Never leave children with no adult supervision in the vehicle or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
