Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system uses weak radio waves. In the following si tuations,
the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle ma y be
affected, preventing the smart key system, wireless remote control and
engine immobilizer system from operating properly.
(Way of coping P. 440)
● When the electronic key battery is depleted
● Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio stati on, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio wav es or electri-
cal noise
● When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by th e following
metallic 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 other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby
● When carrying the electronic key together with the following de vices that
emit radio waves

munication device
• Another vehicle's electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio

■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 ca ses:
• 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 o r
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 unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear shelf or floor, in the door pockets or glove box, auxiliary box when the engine is sta rted or
“ENGINE START STOP” 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 conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin
and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly tr apping the
electronic key inside the vehicle.
● As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, th e doors may
be locked or unlocked by anyone.
● 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 electroni c key is
within the effective range. (The door will automatically be loc ked after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed .)
● Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock th e door.
● If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when t he elec-
tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote con trol 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 pullin g the door
handle again.
