Note for a smart access system with push-button start
■
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective range,
●
the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more
separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that
the key is not stolen.)
If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet during a car
●
wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.
Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart access system with
●
push-button start. (P. 132)
