lEven 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 near the ground or in a high place, or too close to
the rear bumper center when the back door is locked or unlocked.
The electronic key is on the instrument panel, floor or in the glove box
when the engine is started or “ENGINE START STOP” switch modes
are changed.
lAs long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may
be locked or unlocked by anyone.
lEven 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.
lThe doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door
handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash. (The doors will automatically
be locked after approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened
and closed.)
lGripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
lIf the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec−
tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the smart key system. (Use the wireless remote control to
unlock the doors.)
lA sudden approach to the effective range or door handle operation may
prevent the doors from being unlocked.
In this case, return the door han−
dle to the original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling
the door handle.
