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 the 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 function.)
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 trunk is unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear package tray, floor or door
pockets, 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 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 door will automatically be locked after approximately 60 seconds if
the doors are not opened and closed.)
Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
