■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the electronic key 
battery and the vehicle battery from being discharged while the vehicle is not in 
operation for a long time.
●In the following situations, the smart access system with pu sh-button start may 
take some time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the 
outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart access system with push-button start has not been used for 5 days 
or longer.
●If the smart access system with push-but ton start has not been used for 14 days 
or longer, the doors cannot be unlocked at any doors except the driver’s door. 
In this case, take hold of the driver’s door handle, or use the wireless remote 
control or the mechanical key, to unlock the doors.
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart access system with push-button  start uses weak radio waves. In the fol-
lowing situations, the communication betw een electronic key and the vehicle may 
be affected, preventing the smart access system with push-button start and wireless 
remote control from operating properly. (Way of coping:  P.  7 3 8 )
