with you when leaving the vehicle.
●If the electronic key is put in the 
trunk with all the doors locked, the 
key may not be detected depend-
ing on the location of the key and 
the surrounding radio wave condi-
tions. In this case, the key con-

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.

for extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do 
not leave the electronic key within 
6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle.

■To operate the system properly
●Make sure to carry the electronic 
key when operating the system. 
Do not get the electronic key too

the key may not be detected cor-
rectly and the system may not oper-
ate properly. (The alarm may go off 
accidentally, or the door lock pre-
vention function may not operate.)
●Do not leave the electronic key 
inside the trunk.
The key confinement prevention 
function may not operate, depend-
ing on the location of the key (the 
inside edge of the trunk), condi-
tions (inside a metal bag, close to 
metallic objects)  and the radio 
waves in the surrounding area.
