& 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

Keys and doors/Keyless access with push – button start system
on a cell phone, the operating ranges may
be reduced, or the keyless access func-
tion may not operate.
In such a case, perform the procedure
described in “ Locking and unlocking ” F 9-
16.
. When an access key is in the operating
range, if the door handle becomes wet
due to exposure to a significant amount of
water when the vehicle is washed or
during heavy rain, the doors may be
locked or unlocked.
. The keyless access function may not
operate properly depending on the status
of the access key and the radio wave
conditions around the vehicle. In such a
case, perform the procedure described in
“ Locking and unlocking ” F 9-16.
! How to use keyless access func-
tions
! Keyless access function tips
. When you lock the doors using the
keyless access function, turn the push-
button ignition switch off. It is not possible
to lock the doors using the keyless access

dure too quickly, locking may not have
been completed. After locking the doors, it
is recommended to pull the REAR door
handles to confirm that the doors have
been locked.
. It is possible to lock the doors even
when one of the doors is open. After
performing the locking procedure, close
the opened door to lock it.
