Electronic key battery depletion
The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The battery becomes depleted
even if the electronic key is not used.) If the smart entry & start system or
the wireless remote control function does not operate, or the detection
area becomes smaller, the battery may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. (P. 564)
If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the
engine stops. (P. 48)
To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m
(3 ft.) 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
To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get
the electronic 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 electronic key, the
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.
(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not func-
tion.)

Note for the smart entry & start system
Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection
areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• The electronic 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 electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to
the rear bumper center when the trunk or back door is locked/
unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, package tray (sedan),
luggage cover (wagon), floor or in the glove box when the engine is
started or “ENGINE START STOP” switch modes are changed.
Do not leave the electronic 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
electronic key inside the vehicle.
As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may
be locked or unlocked by anyone.
Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to
start the engine if the electronic key is near the window.
The doors may unlock or lock if a large amount of water splashes on the
door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key
is within the effective range. (The doors will automatically be locked after
approximately 30 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
If the key is kept near the vehicle while it is being washed, water applied
to a door handle may cause the door to lock and unlock repeatedly. In
this event, place the key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) or more from the vehicle,
taking care not to lose the key.
If the key is inside the vehicle while it is being washed, water applied to a
door handle may cause a buzzer to sound and a message to be dis-
played. In this event, locking all doors will cause the message to extin-
guish and the buzzer to stop sounding.
