28 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk lid
■Effective range (areas within which the access key is
detected)
When locking or unlocking
the doors
The system can be operated
when the access key is
within about 1.3 - 2.6 ft. (0.4 -
0.8 m) of either of the outside
door handles. (Only the
doors detecting the key can
be operated.)
When unlocking the trunk
lid
The system can be operated
when the access key is
within about 1.3 - 2.6 ft. (0.4 -
0.8 m) of the trunk lid release
button.
When starting the engine
or changing push-button
ignition switch modes
The system can be operated
when the access key is
inside the vehicle.

30 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk lid
■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.
AlarmSituationCorrection procedure
Exterior alarm
sounds once for
5 secondsAn attempt was made to
lock the vehicle while a

and lock the doors

ouslyThe push-button ignition
switch was turned to
“ACC” mode while the

ignition switch off and
close the driver’s
door.

32 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk lid
■Notes for the “keyless access” entry function
●Even when the access key is within the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The access 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 access key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to
the rear bumper center when the trunk lid is unlocked.
• The access key is on the instrument panel, rear shelf or floor, in the
door pockets or glove box or auxiliary box when the engine is started or
push-button ignition switch modes are changed.
●Do not leave the access 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
access key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the access key is within the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone.
●Even if the access key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the access 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 access key is within
the effective range. (The door will automatically be locked after approxi-
mately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
●If the remote keyless entry system is used to lock the doors when the
access key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the “keyless access” entry function. (Use the remote key-
less entry system 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.

■Access 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. (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.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the access key close to any
of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Glass top ranges
• Table lamps
■When the access key battery is fully depleted
oP. 367
■If the keyless access with push button start system has been deacti-
vated in a customized setting
●Locking and unlocking the doors, unlocking the trunk lid: Use the remote
