1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
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 on the instrument panel or floor, in the glove box,
or in the auxiliary box of the instrument panel.
As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may
●
be locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting the
electronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.
The doors may lock or unlock if the electronic key is within the effective
●
range and a large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as
in the rain or in a car wash. The doors will automatically be locked after
approximately 60 seconds if a door is not opened and closed.
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.)
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 while the electronic key is within the
●
effective range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key
in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehi-
cle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
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.
