Note For The Key-Free Function - Toyota Rush Owner's Manual

Note for the key-free function

■
Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas),
●
the system may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near
the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, luggage cover or floor, or in
the door pockets or glove box when the engine is started or engine switch
modes are changed.
Even when the electronic key is carried in your pocket, it may not operate
●
properly due to the position or the shape of the pocket. (Effective range: →
P. 103)
Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
●
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin and the
door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be
●
locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting the elec-
tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.
In some cases, the doors may be unlocked by detecting the electronic key
even if it is in the vicinity of the door which is on the opposite side of the door
for which unlocking was attempted.
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.
When the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be
●
locked or unlocked if the switch on the door handle is pushed by water pres-
sure during car washing. (The doors will automatically be locked after
approximately 30 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 key-free function. (Use the wireless remote control to
unlock the doors.)
Be sure to firmly press the switch on the door handle to confirm that the
●
doors are locked/unlocked. The doors may not be locked/unlocked if the
switch is pressed quickly.
Do not press the switch on the door handle with a great force nor use a
●
sharp object to press. The switch may be damaged.
