nNote for the smart key system
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.
nWhen 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.
nSecurity feature
If a door is not opened within approximately 60 seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked, the security feature automatically locks the vehicle again.

Seat belt pretensioners (front, second outboard seats)
The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu−
pant by retracting the seat belt
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal
collision.
The pretensioner may not acti−
vate in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a side impact or a rear
impact.
Precollision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with precollision
system)
When operating in the event of sudde n braking, the seat belts lessen
collision injury by retracting the slac
k in the front seat belts before the
collision, thus restraining the driver and passenger at an earlier
stage. (
P. 208)
nEmergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend, and you can move around fully.
nAutomatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger ’s shoulder belt is completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. (

rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti−glare inside rear
view mirror to reduce reflected light. (
P. 79)
nLinked mirror function when reversing
The outside rear view mi rrors will automatically angle downwards when the
vehicle is reversing in order to give a better view of the ground. However,
this function will not operate when the mirror select switch is in the neutral
