AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)
It may not be possible to lock the doors if the sensor area is covered by
mud, ice, snow etc. In this event, try locking again after cleaning the
area, or lock by touching the sensor area on the underside of the door
handle.
Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock or lock
the door.
If 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 entry & start system. (Use the wireless remote
control to unlock the doors.)
A 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 again.
When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 2 m (6
ft.) of the vehicle.
Security feature
If a door is not opened within approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked, the security feature automatically locks the vehicle again.
Alarms and warning indicators
A combination of exterior and interior alarms are used to prevent theft of the
vehicle and unforeseeable accidents resulting from erroneous operation.
Take appropriate measures according to the warning message shown on the
multi-information display. (P. 624)
The following table describes circumstances and correction procedures
when only alarms are sounded.

Driving in the “M” position
By shifting the shift lever into the “M” position, 7 stages of gear step
can be switched between.
Upshifting
Downshifting
Unless the shift lever or paddle
shift switches (if equipped) are
operated, the gear step displayed
on the meter cluster is fixed.
However, even when in the “M” position, the gear steps will be
automatically changed if the engine speed is too high, or too low.
