Before driving
■Notes 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 is unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear shelf or floor, in the
door pockets or glove box, auxiliary 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 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 door will automatically be locked after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
●If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec-
tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to
unlock the doors.)
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent 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.

32 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
■Notes for locking the doors
●Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
●When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition
signals will be shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recogni-
tion signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-
tronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.
●If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the
alarm, lock all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again.
■Notes for the unlocking function
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent 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.
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
Remove the gloves and touch the sensor on the back of the handle
again.
●If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-
tronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.
●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.

Before driving
■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. 407)
■Alarm

■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 prop-
erly. (The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention func-
tion may not operate.)
●Do not leave the electronic key inside the trunk.
The key confinement prevention function may not operate, depending on
the location of the key (close to a spare tire, the inside edge of the trunk),
conditions (inside a metal bag, close to metallic objects) and the radio
waves in the surrounding area. (P. 43)

■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the
engine stops. (P. 343)
●As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will
become depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following
symptoms indicate that the electronic key battery may be depleted.
Replace the battery when necessary. (P. 301)
• The smart key system or the wireless remote control does not operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key close to
any 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
• Induction cookers
• Table lamps
■When the electronic key battery is fully depleted
