waves are emitted

Note for the entry function

Even when the electronic key is

within the effective range (detec-

tion areas), the system may not

operate properly in the following

cases:

• The electronic key is too close to

the window or outside door han-

dle, near the ground, or in a high

place when the doors are locked

or unlocked.

• The electronic key is on the instru-

ment panel, luggage compart-

ment, floor, or in the door pockets

or glove box when the hybrid sys-

tem 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 out-

side 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. However, only the

doors detecting the electronic key

can be used to unlock the vehicle.

Even if the electronic key is not

inside the vehicle, it may be possi-

ble to start the hybrid system if the

electronic key is near the window.

The doors may unlock or lock 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 effec-

tive range. (The doors will auto-

matically 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

function. (Use the wireless remote

control to unlock the doors.)

Touching the door lock or unlock

sensor while wearing gloves may

prevent lock or unlock operation.

When the lock operation is per-

formed using the lock sensor, rec-

ognition 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. 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 bat-

P.147)

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 display and a

buzzer will sound outside the vehi-

cle. 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. Touch the door unlock

sensor and check that the doors

are unlocked before pulling the

door handle again.

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.

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. (

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 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-

ate properly. (The alarm may go off

accidentally, or the door lock pre-

vention may not operate.)
