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, or in the door pockets or glove
box when the engine is started or engine 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 reception conditions, it may be
detected by the antenna outside the cabin and the doors will become lockable from the
outside, possibly trapping the electronic key inside the vehicle.
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.
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.)
Touching the door lock or unlock sensor while wearing gloves may prevent lock or
●
unlock operation.
If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic key is near
●
the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the entry func-
tion. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)
When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition signals will be
●
shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recognition 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. In this case, follow the following correction
procedures to wash the vehicle.
• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from the vehicle. (Take
care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
• Set electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart access system with
push-button start. (P. 134)
