■The information display at low  temperatures 
Allow the interior of the vehicle to  
warm up before using the liquid crys- tal information display. At extremely  
low temperatures, the information dis-
play monitor may respond slowly, and  display changes may be delayed. 
For example, there is a lag between  the driver’s shifting and the new gear  
number appearing on the display. 
This lag could cause the driver to  downshift again, causing rapid and  
excessive engine braking and possi-
bly an accident resulting in death or  injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine  
and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of 
the tachometer enter the red zone, 
which indicates the maximum  engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature  
gauge is in the red zone (H). In this 
case, immediately stop the vehicle  in a safe place, and check the

Before driving
• The electronic key is on the instru- 
ment panel, luggage cover or floor, or  in the door pockets or 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 elec- tronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be  
locked or unlocked by anyone. How-
ever, only the doors detecting the  electronic key can be used to unlock  
the vehicle.
●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 wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic  
key is near the vehicle, 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 or unlock sen-
sor while wearing gloves may prevent 
lock or unlock operation.
●Some models: When the lock opera-
tion is performed using the lock sen- sor, recognition signals will be shown  
up to two consecutive times. After 
this, no recognition signals will be  given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while  
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.138)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehi- cle and a door handle becomes wet  
during a car wash, a message may be 
shown on the multi-information dis- play and a buzzer will sound outside  
the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock 
all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work prop-
erly if it comes into contact with ice,  snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor  
and attempt to operate it again.
●A sudden handle operation or a han-
dle operation immediately after enter-
ing the effective range may prevent  the doors from being unlocked. Touch  
the door unlock sensor and check that 
the doors are unlocked before pulling  the door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly  
longer to unlock the doors after the 
door handle is gripped.
■When the vehicle is not driven for  extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 2 m (6  
ft.) of the vehicle.
●The smart entry & start system can be 
deactivated in advance. ( P.577)
