Wireless remote control battery depletion
The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The battery becomes depleted
even if the wireless remote control is not used.) If the wireless remot\
e control
function does not operate, the battery may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. ( P. 558)
■ If the wireless remote control does not operate
Locking and unlocking the doors: Use the key. ( P. 47)
■ Security feature
If a door is not opened within approximately 60 seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked, the security feature automatically locks the vehicle again.
■ Alarm (if equipped)
Using the wireless remote control to lock the door will set the alarm sy\
stem. 
(P. 116)
■ Conditions affecting operation
The wireless remote control function may not operate normally in the follow-
ing situations.
●Near a TV tower, radio station, electr ic power plant, airport or other facil-
ity that generates strong radio waves
● When carrying a portable radio, cell ular phone or other wireless commu-
nication device
● When multiple wireless keys are in the vicinity
● When the wireless key has come into contact with, or is covered by a
metallic object
● When a wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used nearby
● When the wireless key has been left near an electrical appliance such as
a personal computer
■ When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a wireless remote control onto an aircraft, make sure you do
not press any buttons on the wireless remote control while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying a wireless remote control in your bag etc, ensure
that the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button
may cause the wireless remote control to emit radio waves that could inter-
fere with the operation of the aircraft.

■Retained accessory power
Each memorized position (except for the tilt and telescopic steering column)

the key is not in the engine switch.
■ If any position memory button is  pushed while the adjustments are
being made
The operation will stop. To reactivate the system, push the button (“1” or “2”)
again.
■ If the battery is disconnected
The memorized positions must be reset because the computer’s memory is
erased when the battery is disconnected.
CAUTION
■Seat adjustment caution
Take care during seat adjustment that the seat does not strike the rear pas-
senger or squeeze your body against the steering wheel.
If this happens, you can stop the movement by pressing another seat posi-
tion memory button.
