UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)Note for locking the doors
Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition sig-
nals 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 effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the
following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) or more away from the
vehicle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart entry &
start system. (P. 155)

UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)Alarms
If an attempt is made to change the shift position by moving the shift lever or
by pressing the P position switch in any of the following situations, a buzzer
will sound and the shifting operation will be disabled or the shift position will
automatically change to N. When this happens, select an appropriate shift
position.
Situations where the shifting operation will be disabled:
