1383-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
●Near a TV tower, electric power
plant, gas station, radio station,
large display, airpo rt or other facil-
ity that generates strong radio
waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio,
cellular phone, cordless phone or
other wireless communication
device
●When the electronic key is in con-
tact with, or is covered by the fol-
lowing metallic objects
• Cards to which al uminum foil is
attached
• Cigarette boxes that have alumi- num foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wireless keys (that
emit radio waves) are being used
nearby
●When carrying the electronic key
together with the following devices
that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio
waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems

If the doors cannot be
locked/unlocked using the smart key
system, lock/unlock the doors by
performing any of the following:
●Bring the electronic key close to
either front door handle and oper-
ate the entry function.
●Operate the wireless remote con- trol.

If the hybrid system cannot be
started using the smart key system,
refer to P.409.
■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 near the ground or in a high place, or too
close to the center of the rear
bumper when the trunk is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, rear package tray or
floor, or in the door pockets or
glove box when the hybrid system
is started or power 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 unlock the vehicle.

the door handle, such as in the
rain or in a car wash when the
electronic key is within the effec-
tive range. (The doors will auto-
matically be locked after
approximately 60 seconds if the
doors are not opened and closed.)

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 unloc k the doors.)
●If the doors have been locked
from outside of the vehicle and are
then not unlocked using the wire-
less remote contr ol or smart key
system, the hybri d system cannot
be started using the smart key
system. (However, if the doors
have been locked from inside the
vehicle, the hybrid system can be
started using the smart key sys-
tem.)
If it is necessary to start the hybrid
system, it can be started using the
procedure in “If the electronic key
dose not operate properly”
(  P.409).
●Touching the door lock or unlock
sensor while wearing gloves may
prevent lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock op eration is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals will be shown up
to two consecutive times. After
this, no recogniti on signals will be
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet
while the electronic key is within
the effective ran ge, the door may
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that
case, follow the fo llowing correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:
• Place the electronic key in a loca-
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. (

●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.
●A sudden handle operation or a
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
after the door handle is gripped.
■When the vehicle is not driven
for extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do
not leave the electronic key within
6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle.
●The smart key system can be
deactivated in advance. ( P.442)
●Setting the electronic key to bat-
tery-saving mode helps to reduce
key battery depletion. ( P.137)
■To operate the system properly
●Make sure to carry the electronic
key when operating the system.
Do not get the electronic key too
