1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk  
Notes 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 trunk is unlocked.  
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear shelf or floor, in the  
door pockets or glove box, auxiliary box when the engine is started or  
“ENGINE START STOP” 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 engine 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.)  
Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.  
If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec-  
tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not  
be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to  
unlock the doors.)  
A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle 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.  
32  
1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk  
Notes for locking the doors  
Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent  
lock operation. 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 recogni-  
tion signals will be given.  
1
If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-  
tronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock  
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or  
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-  
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.  
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.  
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.

To operate the system properly  
Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not  
get the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system  
from the outside of the vehicle.  
Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the  
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate prop-  
erly. (The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention func-  
tion may not operate.)  
Do not leave the electronic key inside the trunk.  
The key confinement prevention function may not operate, depending on  
the location of the key (close to a spare tire, the inside edge of the trunk),
