■Conditions affecting operation
The keyless access with push button start system uses weak radio waves. In
the following situations, the communication between the access key and the
vehicle may be affected, preventing the keyless access with push button
start system, remote keyless entry system and engine immobilizer system
from operating properly. (Way of coping →P. 400)
●When the access key battery is depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electri-
cal noise
●When the access key is in contact with, or is covered by the following
metallic objects

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.
