(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.
