■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the access
key battery and the vehicle battery from being discharged while the vehicle
is not in operation for a long time.
●In the following situations, the keyless access with push button start sys-
tem may take some time to unlock the doors.
• The access key has been left in an area of approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of
the outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The keyless access with push button start system has not been used
for 5 days or longer.
●If the keyless access with push button start system has not been used for
14 days or longer, the doors cannot be unlocked at any door except the
driver’s door.
In this case, take hold of the driver’s door handle, or use the remote key-
less entry system or the mechanical key, to unlock the doors.

30 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk lid
■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 oP. 398)
●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
• 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 another transmitters (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby
●When carrying the access key together with the following devices that
emit radio waves
• A portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless com-
munication device
• Another vehicle's access key or a transmitter that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital 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 access key is placed near a battery charger or electronic
devices

■Notes for the “keyless access” entry function
●Even when the access key is within the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The access 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 access key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to
the rear bumper center when the trunk lid is unlocked.
• The access key is on the instrument panel, rear shelf or floor, in the
door pockets or glove box or auxiliary box when the engine is started or
push-button ignition switch modes are changed.
●Do not leave the access key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave
reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin
and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the
access key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the access key is within the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone.
●Even if the access key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the access 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 access key is within
the effective range. (The door will automatically be locked after approxi-
mately 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 remote keyless entry system is used to lock the doors when the
access key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the “keyless access” entry function. (Use the remote key-
less entry system to unlock the doors.)
●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.

32 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.

■To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the access key when operating the system. Do not get
the access 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 access key, the key
may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.

■Access key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the
engine stops. (oP. 378)
●As the access key always receives radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the access key is not used. The following symptoms
indicate that the access key battery may be depleted. Replace the bat-
tery when necessary. (oP. 329)
• The keyless access with push button start system or the remote key-
less entry system does not operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the access key close to any
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
■When the access key battery is fully depleted
oP. 329
■If the keyless access with push button start system has been deacti-
vated in a customized setting
●Locking and unlocking the doors, unlocking the trunk lid: Use the remote
keyless entry system or mechanical key. (oP. 37, 398)
