Unlock the doors using the wireless remote control and open one of the 
doors.
If a door is not opened within 60 seconds after   is pressed, the doors 
will be locked again and the alarm will automatically be set.
In case that the alarm is triggered, immediately stop the alarm. (P.  8 7 )
■Battery-saving function
In the following circumstances, the entry function is disabled in order to prevent the 
vehicle and electronic key batteries from discharging. 
●When the entry function has not been used for a month or more
●When the electronic key has been left within approximately 3 ft. (1 m) of the 
vehicle for 10 minutes or more
The system will resume operation when... 
●The vehicle is locked using the door handle lock switch
●The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the wireless remote control function 
(P. 41) or the mechanical key (P.  5 7 1 )
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The card key battery life is about a year 
and a half.)
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine 
stops. (P.  3 7 )
●The battery becomes depleted even if the electronic key is not used because 
the key always transmits radio waves. If the smart access system with push-but-
ton start or the wireless remote control does not operate, or the detection area 
becomes smaller, the battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when nec-
essary. ( P.  4 8 2 )
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1 m) of 
the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
•Glass top ranges
• Table lamps

■To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get the 
electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from the outside 
of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the key may 
not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The alarm may 
go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not function.)
■Note for the smart access system with push-button start
●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas), the 
system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• 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 near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the 
rear bumper center when the trunk is unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear package tray or floor, or in 
the glove box when the engine is started or “ENGINE START STOP” switch 
modes are changed.
●As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be 
locked or unlocked by anyone.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start the 
engine 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 approximately 60 seconds 
if the doors are not opened and closed.)

●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
●If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic key 
is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the 
smart access system with push-button start. (Use the wireless remote control to 
unlock the doors.)
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle operation may pre-
vent 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.
■When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2 m) of 
the vehicle.
■Security feature
If a door is not opened within approximately 60 seconds after the vehicle is 
unlocked, the theft deterrent system automatically locks the vehicle again.
■Alarms and warning indicators
A combination of exterior and interior alarms as well as warnings displayed on the 
multi-information display are used to prevent theft of the vehicle and unforeseeable 
accidents resulting from erroneous operation. Take appropriate measures in 
response to any warning indications on the multi-information display. (P.  5 5 3 )
The following table describes circumstances and correction procedures when only 
alarms are sounded.
