. Locking by using the keyless access
function can be operated only by the door
lock sensor in the operating range in
which the access key is detected.
. Unlocking by using the keyless access
function can be operated only by the door
handle in the operating range in which the
access key is detected.
. If the access key is placed too close to
the vehicle body, the keyless access
function may not operate properly. If it
does not operate properly, repeat the
operation from further away.
. If the access key is placed near the
ground or in an elevated location from the
ground, even if it is in the indicated
operating range, the keyless access func-
tion may not operate properly.
. When the access key is within the
operating range, it is possible for anyone,
even someone who is not carrying the
access key, to operate the keyless access
function. Note that locking and unlocking
can be operated only by the door handle,
door lock sensor, rear gate opener button
or rear lock button in the operating range
in which the access key is detected.
. The keyless access function may not
operate properly depending on the status
of the access key and the radio wave
conditions around the vehicle. In such a
case, perform the procedure described in
"Locking and unlocking" F9-29.
. It is not possible to lock the doors and
rear gate using the keyless access func-
tion when the access key is inside the
vehicle. However, depending on the status
of the access key and the environmental
conditions, the access key may be locked
inside the vehicle. Before locking, make
sure that you have the access key.
