Note for locking the doors
Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or pre-
vent lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the
effective range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key

in a position 2 m (6 ft.) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehi-
cle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take
slightly longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.
Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door
handle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the

tem from operating properly.
(Ways of coping: P. 617)
