Note for the entry 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 near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the rear
bumper center when the back door is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, luggage room, floor, or in the door
pockets or glove box when the hybrid system is started or power switch modes are
changed.
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 reception 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.
Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start the hybrid
●
system if the electronic key is near the window.
The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as in
●
the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within the effective range. (The door
will automatically be locked after approximately 60 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 entry func-
tion. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)
Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock opera-
●
tion. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition signals will be
●
shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recognition signals will be given.
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.)
