2264-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
• 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 lo cked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, luggage co ver 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 recep - tion conditions, it m ay be detected by
the antenna outside the cabin and the
door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the elec -
tronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within
the effective range , the doors may be
locked or unlocke d by anyone. How- ever, only the door s detecting the
electronic key can be used to lock or
unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside
the vehicle, it may be possible to start the hybrid system 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 t he rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within
the effective range . (The doors will
automatically be locked after approxi - mately 30 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 vehi cle, there is a pos- sibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use
the wireless remote control to unlock
the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor while
wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock operation. Remove the gloves
and touch the lo ck sensor again.
●When the lock operation is performed
using the lock sens or, recognition sig-
nals will be shown up to two consecu -
tive times. After this, no recognition
signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while
the electronic key is within the effec - tive range, the door may lock and
unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow
the following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 2
m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi - cle. (Take care to ensure that the key
is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-sav - ing mode to disable the smart entry &
start system. ( →P.225)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehi-
cle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information dis -
play and a buzzer will sound outside
the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.
●The lock sensor m ay not work prop- erly if it comes int o contact with ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor
and attempt to operate it again, or use the lock sensor on the lower part of
the door handle.
●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.
●If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly lon -
ger 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 2 m (6 ft.) of the vehicle.
●The smart entry & start system can be deactivated in advance. ( →P.633)
●Battery-saving mode can reduce the power consumption of electronic keys.

3045-1. Before driving
WARNING
●In order to prevent accidents due to
the vehicle rolling away, always
keep depressing the brake pedal while stopped with the “READY”
indicator is illuminated, and apply
the parking brake as necessary.
●If the vehicle is stopped on an
incline, in order to prevent acci -
dents caused by t he vehicle rolling forward or backward, always
depress the brake pedal and
securely apply the parking brake as needed.
●Avoid revving or racing the engine.Running the engine at high speed
while the vehicle is stopped may
cause the exhaust system to over- heat, which could result in a fire if
combustible material is nearby.
■When the vehicle is parked
●Do not leave glasses, cigarette
lighters, spray can s, or soft drink cans in the vehicle when it is in the
sun.
Doing so may result in the follow - ing:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette
lighter or spray c an, and may lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle
may cause the plastic lenses and plastic material of glasses to
deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, caus - ing the contents to spray over the
interior of the vehicle, and may also
cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s electrical components.
●Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a
place such as the glove box or on
the floor, it may be lit accidentally when luggage is loaded or the seat
is adjusted, causing a fire.
●Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not
place containers such as air fresh -
eners on the instrument panel or dashboard. Adhesive discs or con -
tainers may act as lenses, causing
a fire in the vehicle.
●Do not leave a door or window
open if the curved glass is coated with a metallized fi lm such as a sil-
ver-colored one. Reflected sunlight
may cause the gl ass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
●Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lev er to P, stop the
hybrid system and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unat - tended while the “READY” indicator
is illuminated.
If the vehicle is parked with the shift lever in P but the parking brake is
not set, the vehicl e may start to
move, possibly leading to an acci - dent.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the “READY” indicator is illu -
minated or immediately after turn -
ing the hybrid system off. Doing so may cause burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the hybrid system off.
Otherwise, if you accidentally move
the shift lever or depress the acceler - ator pedal, this could cause an acci -
dent or fire due to hybrid system
overheating. Additionally, if the vehi - cle is parked in a poorly ventilated
area, exhaust gases may collect and
enter the vehi cle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.
