■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
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 properly.
(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not func-
tion.)
■ Note 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 back door is locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, floor or in the glove box when the engine is started or “ENGINE START STOP” switch modes
are changed.
● 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 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 within the effective range. (The doors will automatically be locked after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
● If the key is kept near the vehicle while it is being washed, water applied
to a door handle may cause the door to lock and unlock repeatedly. In
this event, place the key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or more from the vehicle,
taking care not to lose the key.
● If the key is inside the vehicle while it is being washed, water applied to a
door handle may cause a buzzer to sound. In this event, locking all doors
will cause the buzzer to stop sounding.
● It may not be possible to lock the doors if the sensor area is covered by
mud, ice, snow etc. In this event, try locking again after cleaning the
area, or lock by touching the sensor area on the underside of the door
handle.
● Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock or lock
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 smart key system. (Use the wireless remote control to
unlock the doors.)
● A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle operation may
prevent the doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door han-
dle to the original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling
the door handle.
