■Operation signals
A buzzer sounds and the hazard warning flashers flash to indicate that the
doors have been locked/unlocked. (Locked: once; Unlocked: twice)
■When the door cannot be locked by the lock sensor
■Door lock buzzer
If an attempt to lock the doors is made when a door is not fully closed, a
buzzer sounds continuously. Fully close the door to stop the buzzer, and lock
the vehicle once more.
■Alarms and warning indicators
A combination of exterior and interior alarms as well as warning messages
shown on the multi-information display are used to prevent theft of the vehi-
cle and accidents resulting from erroneous operation. Take appropriate mea-
sures in response to any warning message on the multi-information display.

■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. (How-
ever, depending on the location of the access key, the key may be detected
as being in the vehicle. In this case, the vehicle may be unlocked.)
■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the access
key battery and the vehicle battery from being discharged while the vehicle
is not in operation for a long time.
●In the following situations, the keyless access with push button start sys-
tem may take some time to unlock the doors.
• The access key has been left in an area of approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of
the outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The keyless access with push button start system has not been used
for 5 days or longer.
●If the keyless access with push button start system has not been used for
14 days or longer, the doors cannot be unlocked at any door except the
driver’s door.
In this case, take hold of the driver’s door handle, or use the remote key-
less entry system or the mechanical key, to unlock the doors.

■Notes 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
signals will be shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recogni-
tion signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the
access key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the access key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.
●If the access key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the
alarm, lock all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again.
■Notes for the unlocking function
●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.
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
Remove the gloves and touch the sensor on the back of the handle
again.
●If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the
access key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the access key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.
●If there is another access key in the detection area, it may take slightly
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.

●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. (oP. 420)
●As the access key always receives radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the access key is not used. The following symptoms
indicate that the access key battery may be depleted. Replace the bat-
tery when necessary. (oP. 367)
• The keyless access with push button start system or the remote key-
less entry system does not operate.
