Electronic key battery depletion
The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the
engine stops. (P. 530)
Since the electronic key receives radio waves all the time, the key battery
will be depleted even when the electronic key is not being used. If any of
the following problems occurs, it is assumed that the key battery has
been depleted. Replace it with a new battery.
• The smart entry & start system or wireless remote control does not
work
• The operating range has narrowed
• The electronic key LED light does not come on
To prevent the electronic key battery from being depleted significantly, do
not place the key within 1 m (3 ft.) of the following electrical appliances,
which produce magnetism.
• TVs
• Personal computers
• Mobile and cordless phones, and their battery chargers
• Lamps
• Induction cookers
To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system.
Note for electronic key operation
Do not get the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the
system from the outside of the vehicle. Depending on the position and
holding conditions of the electronic key, the key may not be detected cor-
rectly and the system may not operate properly. (The alarm may go off
accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not function.)
Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection
areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• When locking or unlocking the doors, the electronic key is too close to
a door window or door handle, near the ground, or in a high place.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, interior floor, or in a door
pocket, or inside the glove box.

48 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave
reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin
and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the
electronic key inside the vehicle.
Special note for smart entry & start system
When the electronic key is in the operating range, anyone can lock and
unlock the doors even without having the electronic key. However, the
unlocking operation will not be active at a door that has not detected the
electronic key.
When the electronic key is in the operating range and the door handles
get soaked with water due to car washing or heavy rain, the doors may
be locked or unlocked. If the doors are unlocked, the doors will automati-
cally be locked again when no door operations occur in approximately 30
seconds.
If the electronic key is inside or near the vehicle and if the doors are
locked using the wireless remote control, the doors may not be unlocked
with the smart entry & start system. In this case, unlock the doors using
the wireless remote control.
Note for door locking operation
When touching a lock sensor to lock the doors while wearing gloves, the
response may be slow or the doors may not be locked. In this case,
touch the lock sensor without wearing a glove.
When door handles get wet while washing the vehicle with the electronic
key on your person, the doors may be locked and unlocked repeatedly. In
this case, keep the electronic key 2 m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi-
cle while washing (pay attention to key theft).
When the electronic key is inside the vehicle and door handles get wet
due to a car wash, a warning message stating that the key is in the cabin
may appear on the multi-information display, interior and exterior alarms
may sound. In this case, lock the doors to stop the alarms.
A lock sensor covered with ice, snow or mud may not work properly. In
this case, remove the ice, snow or mud from the lock sensor surface and
then touch the sensor again, or unlock the doors using the lock sensor
located on the lower edge of the door handle.
Fingernails may come into contact with a door when taking hold of a door
handle. Be careful not to damage the door surface or your fingernails.

Alarms and warning indicators
A combination of exterior and interior alarms as well as warnings displayed
on the multi-information display are used to prevent theft of the vehicle and
unforeseeable accidents resulting from erroneous operation. Take appropri-
ate measures in response to any warning indications on the multi-informa-
tion display. (P. 523)
The following table describes circumstances and correction procedures
when only alarms are sounded.
Note for vehicle battery disconnection and reconnection
When the doors are attempted to be unlocked by means of the smart
entry & start system just after the vehicle battery has been reconnected,
it may fail. In this case, use the wireless remote control or mechanical
key to unlock and lock the doors.
The first engine start since the last time the vehicle battery was recon-
nected may fail. The engine will start from the second attempt, so it is not
a malfunction.
