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 on the instrument panel, luggage cover or floor, or in the door

pockets or glove box when the engine is started or engine 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 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 engine

if the electronic key is near the window.

●

The doors may lock or 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 locked after approximately 60 seconds if the doors or

the glass hatch 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 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 following 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 electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart access system with

push-button start. (

●

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet during a car

wash, a buzzer may sound outside the vehicle and “KEY DETECTED IN VEHICLE”/

“Key detected in vehicle” may be shown on the multi-information display. 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 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.

●

Unlocking the vehicle may take more time if another electronic key is within the effec-

tive range.

■

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.
