■Door lock buzzer
If an attempt to lock the doors is made when a door is not fully closed, a
buzzer sounds continuously. Fully close the door to stop the buzzer, and lock
the vehicle once more.
■Alarms and warning indicators
A combination of exterior and interior alarms as well as warning lights are
used to prevent theft of the vehicle and unforeseeable accidents resulting
from erroneous operation. Take appropriate measures for the warning light
that comes on. (→P. 374)
The following table describes circumstances and correction procedures
when only alarms are sounded. Use your palm to touch the lock sensor.

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk lid
■Notes for locking 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
signals will be shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recogni-
tion signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the
access key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the access key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.
●If the access key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the
alarm, lock all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again.
■Notes for the unlocking function
●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.
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
Remove the gloves and touch the sensor on the back of the handle
again.
●If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the
access key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the access key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.
●If there is another access key in the detection area, it may take slightly
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.
