NOTE
. If the access key fob is placed too
close to the vehicle body, the keyless
access function may not operate prop-
erly. If it does not operate properly,
repeat the operation from further away.
. If the access key fob 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 function may not operate prop-
erly.
. When the access key fob is within
the operating range, it is possible for
anyone, even someone who is not
carrying the access key fob, 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 fob is detected.
. It is not possible to lock the doors
and rear gate using the keyless access
function when the access key fob is
inside the vehicle. However, depending
on the status of the access key fob and
the environmental conditions, the ac-
cess key fob may be locked inside the
vehicle. Before locking, make sure that
you have the access key fob.
. When the battery of the access key
fob is discharged, or when operating it
in a location with strong radio waves or
noise (e.g., near a radio tower, power
plant, broadcast station, large display,
airport, electrical sign board or an area
where wireless equipment is used), or
while talking on a cell phone, the
operating ranges may be reduced, or
the keyless access function may not
operate.
In such a case, perform the procedure
described in "Locking and unlocking"
F9-28.
. The doors may lock or unlock when
the car is being washed or exposed to
significant amount of water contacting
the door handle while the access key
fob is still in the operating range.
! How to lock and unlock
You can perform the following operation
when you are carrying the access key fob.
. Lock and unlock the doors
. Unlock the trunk (4-door models)
. Lock and unlock rear gate (5-door
models)
NOTE
. The trunk can be opened without the
access key fob if all doors are un-
locked. When you begin driving the
vehicle, the trunk lid will lock automa-
tically. Refer to "Opening trunk (4-door
models)" F2-10.
. It is not possible to lock the doors
and rear gate using the keyless access
function when the push-button ignition
switch is in the "ACC" or "ON" posi-
tion. Refer to "Switching power status"

gloved hand, the door lock may not be
released.
. If the door lock sensor is touched
three times or more repeatedly, the
system will ignore the sensor opera-
tion.
. When performing the locking proce-
dure too quickly, locking may not have
been completed. After locking the
doors, it is recommended to pull the
REAR door handles to confirm that the
doors have been locked.
. Within 3 seconds after locking the
doors and the rear gate by using the
keyless access function, it is not
possible to unlock the doors and/or
the rear gate by using the keyless
