• The electronic key is near the ground
or in a high place, or too close to the
center of the rear bumper when the
trunk is opened.

ment panel, rear package tray or floor,
or in the door pockets or glove box
when the hybrid system is started or
power 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 recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by
the antenna outside the cabin and the
door will become lockable from the
outside, possibly trapping the elec-
tronic key inside the vehicle.
As long as the electronic key is within
●

locked or unlocked by anyone. How-
ever, only the doors detecting the
electronic key can be used to unlock
the vehicle.

the hybrid system 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 30 seconds if the doors
are not opened and closed.)
If the wireless remote control is used
●
to lock the doors when the electronic
key is near the vehicle, there is a pos-
sibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use
the wireless remote control to unlock
the doors.)
Touching the door lock or unlock sen-
●
sor while wearing gloves may prevent
lock or unlock operation.
