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 auto-
matically be locked after approximately
60 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 possibility 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 sensor
while wearing gloves may prevent lock or
unlock operation.
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 follow-
ing 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 the electronic key to battery-saving
mode to disable the smart access system
with push-button start. (P.100)
If the electronic key is inside the vehicle
and a door handle becomes wet during a
car wash, a message may be shown on
the multi-information display and a
buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To
turn off the alarm, lock both side doors.
The lock sensor may not work properly if
it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud,
etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to
operate it again.
3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
A sudden handle operation or a handle
operation immediately after entering the
effective range may prevent the doors
from being unlocked. Touch the door
unlock sensor and check that the doors
are unlocked before pulling the door
handle again.
Unlocking the vehicle may take more
time if another electronic key is within the
effective range.
When the vehicle is not driven for
extended periods
To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not
leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2 m)
of the vehicle.
The smart access system with push-but-
ton start can be deactivated in advance.
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 out-
side 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 pre-
vention function may not operate.)
Do not leave the electronic key inside the
trunk.
The key confinement prevention function
may not operate, depending on the loca-
tion of the key (close to a spare tire [if
equipped], the inside edge of the trunk),
conditions (inside a metal bag, close to
metallic objects) and the radio waves in
the surrounding area. (P.98)
If the smart access system with
push-button start does not operate
properly
Locking and unlocking the doors and
opening the trunk: P.330
Starting the engine: P.331
