■Note for the entry function
●Even 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 trunk is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear package tray or floor, or in the
door pockets or glove box when the engine is started or engine switch modes
are changed.
●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 condi-
tions, 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.
●As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be locked
or unlocked by anyone. However, only th e doors detecting the electronic key can
be used to unlock the vehicle.
●Even 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.
●The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such
as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within the effective range.
(The door will automatically be locked after approximately 30 seconds if the doors
are not opened and closed.)
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
●If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic key is
near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the
entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the doors
from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle 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.
■Alarm
Using the smart entry & start system to lock the doors will set the alarm system.
( P. 112)
■To operate the system properly
●Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. 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 condition of the electronic key, the key may
not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The alarm
may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention function may not operate.)
●Do not leave the electronic key inside the trunk.
The key confinement prevention function may not operate, depending on the loca-
tion of the key (close to a spare tire, the inside edge of the trunk), conditions (inside
a metal bag, close to metallic objects) and the radio waves in the surrounding area.
( P. 193)
■If the smart entry & start system does not operate properly
●Locking and unlocking the doors and trunk: Use the mechanical key. (P. 631)
●Starting the engine: P. 634
