1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
GX460_CANADA (OM60F29U)
■Note for the unlocking function
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
●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 longer
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 6 ft. (2 m)
of the vehicle.
●The smart access system with push-button start can be deactivated in advance.
(→ P. 7 8 3 )
■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.)
■If the smart access system with push-button start does not operate properly
●Locking and unlocking the doors: Use the mechanical key. ( →P. 7 3 8 )
●Starting the engine: →P. 7 3 9
