■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a key with wireless 
remote control function onto an aircraft, 
make sure you do not press any buttons 
on the key while inside the aircraft cabin. 
If you are carrying the key in your bag, 
etc., ensure that the buttons are not 
likely to be pressed accidentally. Press-
ing a button may cause the key to emit 
radio waves that could interfere with the 
operation of the aircraft.
■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 and a message 
will be shown on the multi-information 
display when the engine is stopped.
●To reduce key battery depletion when 
the electronic key is to not be used for 
long periods of time, set the electronic 
key to the battery-saving mode. 
(→P. 1 1 0 )
●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.295)
• The smart entry & start system or the 
wireless remote control does not oper-
ate.
• 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 within 1 m (3 
ft.) of the following electrical appli-
ances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and 
battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cord-
less phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
●If the electronic key is near the vehicle 
for longer than necessary, even if the 
smart entry & start system is not oper-
ated, the key battery may become 
depleted faster than normal.
■Replacing the battery
→P. 2 9 5

Back door
The back door can be  
locked/unlocked and  
opened/closed by the follow- 
ing procedures.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or  
serious injury.
■Caution while driving
●Keep the back door closed while  driving. If the back door is left open, it may hit near-by objects while driv- 
ing or luggage may be unexpect- edly thrown out, causing an accident. 
In addition, exhaust gases may  enter the vehicle, causing death or a serious health hazard. Make sure  
to close the back door before driv- ing.
●Before driving the vehicle, make sure that the back door is fully closed. If the back door is not fully  
closed, it may open unexpectedly  while driving, causing an accident.
●Never let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. In the event of sud-den braking or a collision, they are  
susceptible to death or serious  injury.
■When children are in the vehicle
●Do not allow children to play in the luggage compartment. 
If a child is accidentally locked in  the luggage compartment, they could have heat exhaustion or other  
injuries.
●Do not allow a child to open or  close the back door.Doing so may cause the back door  
to move unexpectedly, or cause the  child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.
■Operating the back door 
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may cause parts of  the body to be caught, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door  
before opening it. Failure to do so  may cause the back door to sud-denly shut again after it is opened.
●When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make  
sure the surrounding area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make 
sure they are safe and let them  know that the back door is about to open or close.
●Use caution when opening or clos-ing the back door in windy weather  
as it may move abruptly in strong  wind.
●The back door may suddenly shut if it is not opened fully. It is more diffi-cult to open or close the back door  
on an incline than on a level sur- face, so beware of the back door unexpectedly opening or closing by  
itself. Make sure that the back door  is fully open and secure before using the luggage compartment.
