3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
●
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 dis-
play 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.
●
A sudden handle operation or a handle operation immediately after entering
the effective range may prevent the doors from being unlocked. In this case,
return the door handle to the original position and check that the doors
unlock before pulling the door handle again.
●
Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
●
If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.
■
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 key system can be deactivated in advance. Ask your Toyota
dealer for details.

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 prevention function may not
operate.)
