ever, depending on the location of the electronic key, the key may be
detected as being in the vehicle. In this case, the vehicle may be unlocked.)
■ Battery-saving function

tronic key battery and the vehicle battery from being discharged while the
vehicle is not in operation for a long time.

time 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.
● Vehicles without a double locking system: When the lock operation is
performed using the lock sensor, recognition signals will be shown up to
two consecutive times. After this, no recognition signals will be given.
● If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-
tronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) 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 electronic 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 elec-
tronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) 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 electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.

(6 ft.) of the vehicle.
● The smart entry & start system can be deactivated in advance. ( →P. 487)
■ 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 cond ition of the electronic key, the

erly. (The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention func-
tion may not operate.)
● Do not leave the electronic key inside the trunk.
The key confinement prevention function may not operate, depending on
the location 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. 61)

Trunk light
The trunk light turns on when the trunk is opened.
■ Function to prevent the trunk being locked with the electronic key
inside (vehicles with a smart entry & start system)
●When all doors are being locked, closing the trunk lid with the electronic
key left inside the trunk will sound an alarm.
In this case, the trunk lid can be opened using the entry function.
● Even when the spare electronic key is put in the trunk with all the doors
locked, the key confinement prevention function can be activated so the
trunk can be opened. In order to prevent theft, take all electronic keys
with you when leaving the vehicle.
● Even when the electronic key is put in the trunk with all the doors are
locked, the key may not be detected depending on the places and the
surrounding radio wave conditions. In this case, the key confinement pre-
vention function cannot be activated, causing the doors to lock when the
trunk is closed. Make sure to check where the key is before closing the
trunk.
● The key confinement prevention function cannot be activated if any one
of the doors is unlocked. In this case, open the trunk using the trunk
opener.
■ Using the mechanical key (vehicles with a smart entry & start system
but without the double locking system)
The trunk can be also opened using the mechanical key. ( →P. 455)
