■Battery-saving function  
●Electronic keys that will not be  
used for long periods of time can  
be set to the battery-saving mode  
in advance.  
The battery-saving function will be  
activated in order to prevent the  
electronic key battery and the 12-  
volt battery from being discharged  
while the vehicle is not in operation  
for a long time.  
■Conditions affecting operation  
The smart key system uses weak  
radio waves. In the following situa-  
tions, the communication between  
the electronic key and the vehicle  
may be affected, preventing the  
smart key system, wireless remote  
control and immobilizer system from  
operating properly.  
●In the following situations, the  
smart key system may take some  
time to unlock the doors.  
• The electronic key has been left in  
an area of approximately 11.5 ft.  
(3.5 m) of the outside of the vehi-  
cle for 2 minutes or longer.  
• The smart key system has not  
been used for 5 days or longer.

●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 out-  
side the cabin and the door will  
become lockable from the outside,  
possibly trapping the electronic

●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 doors will automatically be

●When the vehicle is parked in a  
pay parking spot where radio  
waves are emitted.  
■Note for the entry function  
●Even when the electronic key is  
within the effective range (detec-

operate properly in the following  
cases:  
• The electronic key is too close to

■To operate the system properly  
●If the door handle becomes wet  
while the electronic key is within  
the effective range, the door may  
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that  
case, follow the following correc-  
tion procedures to wash the vehi-  
cle:  
• Place the electronic key in a loca-  
tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from  
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure  
that the key is not stolen.)  
• Set the electronic key to battery-  
saving mode to disable the smart  
key system. (P.188)  
●If the electronic key is inside the  
vehicle and a door handle  
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 vehi-  
cle.  
Depending on the position and hold-  
ing condition of the electronic key,  
the key may not be detected cor-  
rectly and the system may not oper-

●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.  
However, if the mechanical key is  
used while the alarm system is set,  
the warning will sound. (P.69)  
●A sudden approach to the effec-  
tive range or door handle may pre-  
vent 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.  
●If the EV system cannot be  
started, refer to P.542  
■Customization  
Settings (e.g. smart key system)  
can be changed.  
(Customizable features: P.571)  
If the smart key system has been  
deactivated in a customized setting,  
refer to the explanations for the fol-  
lowing operations.  
●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

■Seat adjustment  
To reduce the risk of sliding under  
the lap belt during a collision, do  
not recline the seat more than  
necessary.  
If the seat is too reclined, the lap  
belt may slide past the hips and  
apply restraint forces directly to  
the abdomen, or your neck may  
contact the shoulder belt, increas-  
ing the risk of death or serious  
injury in the event of an accident.  
Adjustments should not be made
