CAUTION
■General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of
alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol
and certain drugs delay reaction time, im pair judgment and reduce coordination,
which could lead to an accident that will hurt or kill you, your occupants or others.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers
or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full at tention to driving. Anything that distracts
the driver, such as adjusting controls, ta lking on a cellular phone or reading can
result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or
others.
■When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in the vehi cle, and never allow children to have or
use the key.
When left unattended, children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle
into neutral. There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing
with the cigarette lighter, the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehi-
cle. In addition, heat build-up or extremel y cold temperatures inside the vehicle can
be fatal to children.

■Operation signals
A buzzer sounds and the emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have
be
en locked/unlocked. (Locked: Once; Unlocked: Twice)
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart access system with push-button start uses weak radio waves. In the fol -
lowing situations, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle
m
ay be affected, preventing the smart a ccess system with push-button start and
wireless remote control from operating properly. (Way of coping; P. 4 8 6 )

●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display,
airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone or other wireless communica -
tion devices
