the doors are lo cked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, luggage co ver or floor, or
in the door pockets or glove box when
the hybrid system is started or power 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 m ay be detected by
the antenna outside the cabin and the
door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the elec -
tronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within
the effective range , the doors may be
locked or unlocke d by anyone. How- ever, only the door s detecting the
electronic key can be used to lock or
unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside
the vehicle, it may be possible to start the hybrid system 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 t he rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within
the effective range . (The doors will
automatically be locked after approxi - mately 30 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 vehi cle, there is a pos- sibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use
the wireless remote control to unlock
the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor while
wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock operation. Remove the gloves
and touch the lo ck sensor again.

using the lock sens or, recognition sig-
nals will be shown up to two consecu -
tive times. After this, no recognition
signals will be given.

the electronic key is within the effec - tive range, the door may lock and
unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow
the following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 2
m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi - cle. (Take care to ensure that the key
is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-sav - ing mode to disable the smart entry &
start system. ( →P.225)

snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor
and attempt to operate it again, or use the lock sensor on the lower part of
the door handle.

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.
●If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly lon -
ger to unlock the doors after the door
handle is gripped.
