Operation of each component
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)■Note 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 near the ground or in a high place, or too close to
the rear bumper center when the trunk or back door is locked/unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, package tray (sedan), lug-
gage cover (wagon), 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.
●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 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 30 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
●If the key is kept near the vehicle while it is being washed, water applied to a
door handle may cause the door to lock and unlock repeatedly. In this event,
place the key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) or more from the vehicle, taking care
not to lose the key.
●If the key is inside the vehicle while it is being washed, water applied to a
door handle may cause a buzzer to sound and a message to be displayed.
In this event, locking all doors will cause the message to extinguish and the
buzzer to stop sounding.
●It may not be possible to lock the doors if the sensor area is covered by
mud, ice, snow etc. In this event, try locking again after cleaning the area, or
lock by touching the sensor area on the underside of the door handle.
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock or lock the
door.
●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 entry & start system. (Use the wireless remote control
to unlock the doors.)
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle operation may pre-
vent 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.
