& Safety precautions
WARNING
If you wear an implanted pacemaker
or an implanted defibrillator, stay at
least 8.7 in (22 cm) away from the
transmitting antennas installed on
the vehicle.
The radio waves from the transmit-
ting antennas on the vehicle could
adversely affect the operation of
implanted pacemakers and im-
planted defibrillators. If you wear electric medical equip-
ment other than an implanted pace-
maker or an implanted defibrillator,
before using the keyless access
with push-button start system, refer
to “ Radio waves used for the key-
less access with push-button start
system ” mentioned later, and con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for more information.
The radio waves from the transmit-
ting antennas on the vehicle could
adversely affect the operation of the
electric medical equipment.
“ Radio waves used for the keyless
access with push-button start sys-
tem ”
. The keyless access with push-
button start system uses radio
waves of the following fre-
quency* in addition to the radio
waves used for the remote key-
less entry system. The radio
waves are periodically output
from the antennas installed on
the vehicle as shown in the
following illustrations.
* Radio frequency: 134 kHz2-10

“ keyless access ” entry func-
tion ! Operating ranges
1) Antenna
2) Operating range
The operating ranges of the door locking/
unlocking functions and the trunk lid
unlocking function are approximately 16
to 32 in (40 to 80 cm) from the respective
door handles and the trunk ornament. 1) LED indicator
When the access key is within either of the
operating ranges of the front doors, the
LED indicator on the access key flashes.
When the keyless access functions are
disabled, the LED indicator does not flash
unless a button on the access key is
pressed.
! Operating range tips
. Locking by using the keyless access
function can be operated only by the door
lock sensor in the operating range in
which the access key is detected.
. Unlocking by using the keyless access
function can be operated only by the door
handle in the operating range in which the
access key is detected.
. If the access key is placed too close to the vehicle body, the keyless access
function may not operate properly. If they
do not operate properly, repeat the opera-
tion from further away.
. If the access key is placed near the
ground or in an elevated location from the
ground, even if it is in the indicated
operating range, the keyless access func-
tion may not operate properly.
. When the access key is within the
operating range, it is possible for anyone,
even someone who is not carrying the
access key, to operate the keyless access
function. Note that locking and unlocking
can be operated only by the door handle,
door lock sensor or trunk lid opener button
in the operating range in which the access
key is detected.
. It is not possible to lock the doors using
the keyless access function when the
access key is inside the vehicle. However,
depending on the status of the access key
and the environmental conditions, the
access key may be locked inside the
vehicle. Before locking, make sure that
you have the access key.
. When the battery of the access key is
discharged, or when operating it in a
location with strong radio waves or noise
(e.g., near a radio tower, power plant,
