WARNING
■General precautions while 
driving
Driving under the influence: Never 
drive your vehicle when under the 
influence of alcohol or drugs that 
have impaired your ability to oper-
ate your vehicle. Alcohol and cer-
tain drugs delay reaction time, 
impair judgment and reduce coor-
dination, which could lead to an 
accident that could result in death 
or serious injury.
Defensive drivin g: Always drive 
defensively. Anticipate mistakes 
that other drivers or pedestrians 
might make and be ready to avoid 
accidents.
Driver distracti on: Always give 
your full attention to driving. Any-
thing that distracts the driver, such 
as adjusting controls, talking on a 
cellular phone or reading can 
result in a collision with resulting 
death or serious injury to you, 
your occupant s or others.
■General precaution regarding 
children’s safety
Never leave children unattended 
in the vehicle, and never allow 
children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the 
vehicle or shift the vehicle into 
neutral. There is also a danger 
that children ma y injure them-
selves by playing with the win-
dows, or other features of the 
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up 
or extremely cold temperatures 
inside the vehicle can be fatal to 
children.

■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is 
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not 
operate properly in the following 
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to  the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high 
place when the doors are locked 
or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, luggage cover or 
floor, or in the door pockets or 
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 reception conditions, it may 
be detected by the antenna out-
side 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. However, only the 
doors detecting the electronic key 
can be used to unl ock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not 
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the engine if the elec-
tronic 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 w ithin the effec-
tive range. (The  doors will auto-
matically be locked after 
approximately 60 seconds if the 
doors are not opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is 
used to lock the doors when the 
electronic key is  near the vehicle, 
there is a possib ility that the door 
may not be unlocke d by the entry 
function. (Use the wireless remote  control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock or unlock 
sensor while wearing gloves may 
prevent lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock operation is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals will be shown up 
to two consecutive times. After 
this, no recognition signals will be 
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet 
while the electronic key is within 
the effective range, the door may 
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that 
case, follow the 
following correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:

tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from 
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure 
that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to bat- tery-saving mode to disable the 
smart key system. ( P.104)
●If the electronic key is inside the 
vehicle and a door handle 
becomes wet during a car wash, a 
message may be shown on the 
multi-information display and a 
buzzer will sound outside the vehi-
cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all 
the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work 
properly if it comes into contact 
with ice, snow, m ud, etc. Clean 
the lock sensor and attempt to 
operate it again.

handle operation immediately 
after entering the effective range 
may prevent the doors from being 
unlocked. Touch the door unlock 
sensor and check that the doors 
are unlocked befo re pulling the 
door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in 
the detection area, it may take 
slightly longer to unlock the doors
