Note for door locking operation


 When touching a lock sensor to lock the doors while wearing gloves, the
response may be slow or the doors may not be locked. In this case,
touch the lock sensor without wearing a glove.
When door handles get wet while washing the vehicle with the electronic

key on your person, the doors may be locked and unlocked repeatedly. In
this case, keep the electronic key 2 m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi-
cle while washing (pay attention to key theft).
 When the electronic key is inside the vehicle and door handles get wet
due to a car wash, interior and exterior alarms may sound. In this case,
lock the doors to stop the alarms.
 A lock sensor covered with ice, snow or mud may not work properly. In
this case, remove the ice, snow or mud from the lock sensor surface and
then touch the sensor again, or unlock the doors using the lock sensor
located on the lower edge of the door handle.
 Fingernails may come into contact with a door when taking hold of a door
handle. Be careful not to damage the door surface or your fingernails.

Note for door unlocking operation

 The doors may not be unlocked when a door handle is operated quickly,
or if you suddenly enter the operating range of the exterior antenna and
operate a door handle. In this case, return the door handle to its original
position, unlock the doors again, and then check that the doors are
unlocked before pulling the door handle.
When taking hold of a door handle while wearing gloves, the unlocking

response may become slow or the doors may not be unlocked.

time to unlock the doors after a door handle is taken hold of may become
longer.
