Note for locking the doors

■
Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock
●
operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective
●
range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that 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 the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart access sys-
tem with push-button start. (P. 129)
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 all the 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, or use the lock sensor
on the lower part of the door handle.
Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door handle. Be
●
careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the door.
