The radio waves from the transmit-
ting antennas on the vehicle could
adversely affect the operation ofimplanted 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”F2-9, and contact the elec-
tric medical equipment manufac-
turer for more information. The radio
waves from the transmitting anten-
nas on the vehicle could adversely
affect the operation of the electric
medical equipment.
NOTEThe status of the access key fob and
environmental conditions may interfere
with the communication between the
access key fob and the vehicle under
the following conditions.
.When you operate near a source of
strong radio waves or other interfer-
ence, such as a broadcast station or
power transmission lines
.When products that transmit radio
waves are used, such as an access key
fob or a remote transmitter key fob of
another vehicle.When you carry the access key fob
of your vehicle together with an access
key fob or a remote transmitter of
another vehicle
.When the access key fob is placed
near wireless communication equip-
ment such as a cell phone, or near a
metallic object
.When metallic accessories are at-
tached to the access key fob

operation from further away).
.The access key fob is placed near the
ground or in an elevated location from theground, even if it is in the operating range.
.The status of the access key fob and
the radio wave conditions around the
vehicle (in this case, perform the proce-
dure described in“Locking and unlocking”
F9-26.)
Precautions:
.When the access key fob is within the
operating range, it is possible for anyone,
even someone who is not carrying the
access key fob, to operate the keyless
access function. Please note that the
keyless access function is only available

transmitter while in the airplane.
When any button of the remote
transmitter is pressed, radio
waves are sent and may affect
the operation of the airplane.
When you carry the remote trans-
mitter in a bag on an airplane,
take measures to prevent the
buttons of the remote transmitter
from being pressed.
For models with“keyless access with
push-button start system”, the access
key fob is used as the transmitter for theremote keyless entry system. For models

following functions.
.Locking and unlocking the doors with-
out a key
.Opening the trunk without a key
.Sounding a panic alarm
.Arming and disarming the alarm sys-
tem. For detailed information, refer to
“Alarm system”F2-24.
The operable distance of the remote key-
less entry system is approximately 30 feet
(10 meters). However, this distance will
vary depending on environmental condi-
tions. The system’s operable distance will
be shorter in areas near a facility or
electronic equipment emitting strong radio
waves such as a power plant, broadcast
station, TV tower, or remote controller of
home electronic appliances.
NOTE.For models with“keyless access
with push-button start system”,the
remote keyless entry system will not

Security indicator light6. Carry the access key fob and touch the
door lock sensor.
All doors will lock, an electronic chirp will
sound once, the hazard warning flashers
will flash once, and the security indicator
light will start flashing rapidly.
After rapid flashing for 30 seconds (stand-
by time), the security indicator light will
then flash slowly (twice approximately
every 2 seconds), indicating that the
system has been armed for surveillance.!Disarming the system
Perform either of the following procedures.
.Briefly press the disarm button (for less
than 2 seconds) on the access key fob/
remote transmitter.
.Carry the access key fob and grip the
front door handle (models with“keyless
access with push-button start system”).
The flashing of the security indicator light
will then change slowly (once approxi-
mately every 3 seconds from twice ap-
proximately every 2 seconds), indicating
that the alarm system has been disarmed.
!Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
access key fob/transmitter (i.e. the trans-
mitter is lost, broken or the transmitter
battery is too weak), you can disarm the
system without using the access key fob/
remote transmitter.
You can disarm the system if you turn the
ignition switch from the“LOCK”/“OFF”to
the“ON”position with a registered key/
access key fob.
NOTEFor models with“keyless access with
push-button start system”, if the bat-
tery of the access key fob is dis-
charged, perform the procedure de-scribed in“Switching power status”
F9-26. In such a case, replace the
battery immediately. Refer to“Repla-
cing battery of access key fob”F11-52.
!Valet mode

alarm system does not operate. In valet
mode, the access key fob/transmitter is
used only for locking and unlocking the
doors and for panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the
setting of your vehicle’s alarm system for
deactivation mode. Refer to“Activating
and deactivating the alarm system”F2-
24. The security indicator light will continue
to flash once every 3 seconds indicating
