Operation of each component
Vehicles with a smart key system
The smart key system uses weak radio waves. In the following situations, the
communication  between  the  electronic  key  and  the  vehicle  may  be  affected,
preventing the smart key system and wireless remote control from operating
properly. (Way of coping  P. 588)
● When the electronic key battery is depleted
● Near  a  TV  tower,  electric  power  plant,  gas  station,  radio  station,  large  dis-
play,  airport  or  other  facility  that  generates  strong  radio  waves  or  electrical
noise
● When  carrying  a  portable  radio,  cellular  phone,  cordless  phone  or  other
wireless communication devices
● When  the  electronic  key  is  in  contact  with,  or  is  covered  by  the  following
objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
● When multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity
● When another wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used nearby
● When  carrying  or  using  the  electronic  key  together  with  the  following
devices that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key
• A wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
● If  window  tint  with  a  metallic  content  or  metallic  objects  are  attached  to  the
rear window

WARNING
■To prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions while driving.
Failure to do so may cause a door to open unexpectedly and an occupant to
fall out of the vehicle, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Ensure that all doors are properly closed and locked.
● Set  the  sliding  door  child-protector  locks  when  children  are  seated  in  the
vehicle.
● Do not operate the inside handle of the doors while driving.
■ When children are in the vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not leave children alone in the vehicle.
If  a  child  is  accidentally  locked  in  the  vehicle,  they  could  have  heat
exhaustion or other injuries.
● Do not allow a child to open or close the sliding door.
Doing  so  may  cause  the  sliding  door  to  move  unexpectedly,  or  cause  the
child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the moving sliding door.
■ Operating the sliding doors
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death
or serious injury.
●When opening or closing a sliding door, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.

Operation of each component
■Battery-saving function
In  the  following  circumstances,  the  entry  function  is  disabled  in  order  to  pre-
vent the vehicle battery from discharging and the electronic key battery from
discharging.
●When the entry function has not been used for 5 days or more
● When the electronic key has been left within approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the
vehicle for 10 minutes or more
● If the entry function has not been used for 14 days or more, the vehicle can-
not be unlocked by a door other than the driver’s door. To unlock the vehicle,
grip  the  driver’s  door  handle  or  use  the  wireless  remote  control  or  the
mechanical key.
The system will resume operation when...
● The vehicle is locked using the lock sensor when carrying the electronic key
on your person.
● The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the wireless remote control. ( P.   1 1 1 )
● The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the mechanical key. ( P. 588)
■ Conditions affecting operation
P.   1 1 9
■ Notes 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  on  the  instrument  panel,  floor  or  in  the  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 recep-
tion 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.
● As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting the elec-
tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.
● The  doors  may  unlock  or  lock  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  doors  will  automatically  be  locked  after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
● 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  smart  key  system.  (Use  the  wireless  remote  control  to
unlock the doors.)
● If power slide door is unable to operate due to prohibition by the power slid-
ing  door  main  switch,  the  door  unlock  and  open  operation  will  not  be  per-
formed. ( P. 124)
