ing spot where radio waves are emitted.

■

Note for the entry function

●

Even when the electronic key is within the

effective range (detection areas), the sys-

tem may not operate properly in the fol-

lowing cases:

• The electronic key is too close to the win-

dow 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 center

of the rear bumper when the trunk is

opened.

• The electronic key is on the instrument

panel, rear package tray or floor, or in the

door pockets or glove box when the

hybrid system is started or power switch

126

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 doors

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 possible 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 effective 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 sensor while

wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock

operation.

●

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. In this case, follow the follow-

ing correction procedures to wash the

vehicle:

• 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

stolen.)

• Set the electronic key to battery-saving

mode to disable the smart access system

with push-button start. (

P.125)

●

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 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.

●

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.

●

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

●

To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not

leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2 m)

of the vehicle.

●

The smart access system with push-but-

ton start can be deactivated in advance.

●

Setting the electronic key to battery-sav-

ing mode helps to reduce key battery

depletion. (

P.125)

■

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 out-

side 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 properly. (The alarm may
go off accidentally, or the door lock pre-
vention function may not operate.)

●

Do not leave the electronic key inside the

trunk.

WARNING

■

When adjusting the seat position

●

Take care when adjusting the seat

position to ensure that other passen-

gers are not injured by the moving

seat.

●

Do not put your hands under the seat

or near the moving parts to avoid

injury.

Fingers or hands may become

jammed in the seat mechanism.

●

Make sure to leave enough space

around the feet so they do not get

stuck.

■

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,

increasing the risk of death or serious

injury in the event of an accident.

Adjustments should not be made while

driving as the seat may unexpectedly

move and cause the driver to lose control

of the vehicle.

■

Operating the front passenger’s seat

from the driver’s seat or rear seat

Do not operate the front passenger’s seat

when a passenger is seated in it. In addi-

tion, do not let anyone sit down in the

front passenger’s seat while the seat is

being operated or when the head

restraint is being folded. The front pas-

senger may catch their legs between the

instrument panel and seat, or the head

restraint may interfere with their head,

resulting in injury.

■

When the front passenger’s seat is

folded forward

If the outside rear view mirror is difficult

to see, due to the position of the front

passenger’s seat, move the front passen-

ger’s seat to an appropriate position.

Doing so may lead to mishandling of the

vehicle and cause an accident, resulting

in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

system: When the rear seat is moving

to the Entertainment Mode position,

do not allow hands near the rear dis-

play. Otherwise, a hand or finger may

be caught, possibly causing injury.

■

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,

increasing the risk of death or serious

injury in the event of an accident.

Adjustments should not be made while

driving as the seat may unexpectedly

move and cause the driver to lose control

of the vehicle.

■

Using the ottoman (if equipped)

●

Do not sit on the ottoman.

If someone sits on the ottoman, the seat
belt cannot be fitted properly, and they
may be thrown from the seat, resulting in
death or serious injury in the event of an
accident or sudden braking.

●

When getting in or out of the vehicle,

retract the ottoman. If the ottoman is

not retracted, it may cause a fall, result-

ing in injury.

●

Do not operate the ottoman when the

vehicle is moving.

●

Do not allow anyone to put their hands

or feet under the rear seat when stow-

ing the ottoman.
