■Conditions affecting operation
The smart entry & start system uses
weak radio waves. In the following situa- tions, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart entry & start system, wireless remote control and immobilizer system from operating
properly.
●When the electronic key battery is
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio station, large dis- play, airport or other facility that gen-erates strong radio waves or electrical
noise
●When the electronic key is in contact
with, or is covered by the following metallic objects• Cards to which aluminum foil is
attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum
foil inside • Metallic wallets or bags•Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal • Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used nearby
●When carrying the electronic key together with the following devices that emit radio waves
• Portable radio, cellular phone, cord- less phone or other wireless commu-nication devices
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves• Personal computers or personal digi-
tal assistants (PDAs) • Digital audio players• Portable game systems
●If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the
rear window
●When the electronic key is placed

If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked using the smart entry & start system, lock/unlock the doors by performing any
of the following:
●Bring the electronic key close to either
front door handle and operate the entry function.
●Operate the wireless remote control. If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked using the above methods, use the
mechanical key. ( P.204)
If the hybrid system cannot be started
using the smart entry & start system,
refer to P.605.
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within
the effective range (detection areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases:

2264-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
• The electronic key is too close to the
window or outside door handle, near
the ground, or in a high place when
the doors are locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instru-
ment panel, luggage cover or floor, or
in the door pockets or glove box when
the hybrid system is started or power
switch modes are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top
of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle.
Depending on the radio wave recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by
the antenna outside the cabin and the
door will become lockable from the
outside, possibly trapping the elec-
tronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within
the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone. How-
ever, only the doors detecting the
electronic key can be used to lock or
unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside
the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the hybrid system if the electronic key
is near the window.
●The doors may unlock if a large
amount of water splashes on the door
handle, such as in the rain or in a car
wash when the electronic key is within
the effective range. (The doors will
automatically be locked after approxi-
mately 30 seconds if the doors are not
opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is used
to lock the doors when the electronic
key is near the vehicle, there is a pos-
sibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use
the wireless remote control to unlock
the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor while
wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves
and touch the lock sensor again.
●When the lock operation is performed
using the lock sensor, recognition sig-
nals will be shown up to two consecu-tive times. After this, no recognition
signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while
the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and
unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow
the following correction procedures to
wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 2
m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi-
cle. (Take care to ensure that the key
is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-sav-
ing mode to disable the smart entry &
start system. (P.225)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehi-
cle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a message may be
shown on the multi-information dis-
play and a buzzer will sound outside
the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock
all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work prop-
erly if it comes into contact with ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor
and attempt to operate it again, or use
the lock sensor on the lower part of
the door handle.
●A sudden approach to the effective
range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this
case, return the door handle to the
original position and check that the
doors unlock before pulling the door
handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in the
detection area, it may take slightly lon-
ger to unlock the doors after the door
handle is gripped.
■When the vehicle is not driven for
extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not
leave the electronic key within 2 m (6
ft.) of the vehicle.
●The smart entry & start system can be
deactivated in advance. (P.633)
●Battery-saving mode can reduce the
power consumption of electronic keys.
