Operation of each component
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)■Note for the entry function
●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), lug-
gage cover (wagon), floor or in the glove box when the engine is started
or engine 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 recep-
tion 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 displayed.
In this event, locking all doors will cause the message to extinguish and the
buzzer to stop sounding.
●It may not be possible to lock the doors if the sensor area is covered by
mud, ice, snow etc. In this event, try locking again after cleaning the area, or
lock by touching the sensor area on the underside of the door handle.
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock or lock the
door.
●If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic
key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the smart entry & start system. (Use the wireless remote control
to unlock the doors.)
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle operation may pre-
vent 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.

When trouble arises
■Starting the engine when the battery is discharged (vehicles with Multid-
rive)
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■ To prevent battery discharge
● Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is turned off.
● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running
at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.
■ Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
■ When the battery is removed or discharged
● Vehicles with smart entry & start system: In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the smart entry & start system when the bat-
tery is discharged. Use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to
lock or unlock the doors.
● Vehicles with smart entry & start system: The engine may not start on the
first attempt after the battery has recharged but will start normally after the
second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
● Vehicles with smart entry & start system: The engine switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the battery is reconnected, the system will return
to the mode it was in before the battery was discharged. Before disconnect-
ing the battery, turn the engine switch off. If you are unsure what mode the
engine switch was in before the battery discharged, be especially careful
when reconnecting the battery.
● Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
After charging the battery or reconnecti ng the battery terminals, the Stop &
Start system may not automatically stop the engine for approximately 5 to
40 minutes.
■ When replacing the battery
● Use a battery that the case size is same as the previous one (LN2), 20 hour
rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent (60Ah) or greater, and performance rating
(CCA) is equivalent (356A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the battery may discharge and the engine
may not be able to start.
