3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
Before driving
The system can be operated when the  
electronic key is inside the vehicle.
■Effective range (areas within which  
the electronic key is detected) 
(wagon) 
When locking or unlocking the  
doors 
The system can be operated when the  
electronic key is within about 0.7 m (2.3 
ft.) of an outside front door handle and 
back door. (Only the doors detecting the 
key can be operated.) 
When starting the engine or chang- 
ing engine switch modes 
The system can be operated when the  
electronic key is inside the vehicle.
■Alarms and warning messages 
A combination of exterior and interior  buzzers as well as warning messages  
shown on the multi-information display 
are used to prevent theft of the vehicle  and accidents resulting from erroneous  
operation. Take appropriate measures 
based on the displayed message.  ( P.520) 
When only an alarm sounds, circum- 
stances and correction procedures are  as follows.
●Exterior buzzer sounds once for 5 seconds
●Interior buzzer sounds continuously
■Battery-saving function 
The battery-saving function will be acti- 
vated in order to prevent the electronic 
key battery and the vehicle battery from  being discharged while the vehicle is not  
operated for a long time.
●In the following situations, the smart 
entry & start system may take some 
time to unlock the doors. • The electronic key has been left within  
approximately 3.5 m (11 ft.) of the out-
side of the vehicle for 2 minutes or  longer. 
• The smart entry & start system has 
not been used for 5 days or longer.
●If the smart entry & start system has 
not been used for 14 days or longer, 
the doors cannot be unlocked from  any door except the driver’s door. In  
this case, hold the driver’s door han-
dle, or use the wireless remote control  or mechanical key to unlock the  
doors.
SituationCorrection  
procedure
An attempt was made 
to lock the vehicle while 
a door was open.
Close all of 
the doors and 
lock the doors 
again.
SituationCorrection 
procedure
The engine switch was 
turned to ACC while the 
driver’s door was open 
(or the driver’s door 
was opened while the 
engine switch was in 
ACC).
Turn the 
engine switch 
off and close 
the driver’s 
door.
The engine switch was 
turned to off while the 
driver’s door was open.
Close the 
driver’s door. 

1383-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
■Electronic key battery-saving func- 
tion 
When battery-saving mode is set, bat- 
tery depletion is minimized by stopping 
the electronic key from receiving radio  waves. 
Press   twice while pressing and  
holding  . Confirm that the electronic  
key indicator flashes 4 times. 
While the battery-saving mode is set,  
the smart entry & start system cannot be  used. To cancel the function, press any  
of the electronic key buttons.
■Conditions affecting operation 
The smart entry & start system uses  
weak radio waves. In the following situa- tions, the communication between the  
electronic key and the vehicle may be 
affected, preventing the smart entry &  start system, wireless remote control  
and engine immobilizer system from 
operating properly. (Ways of coping:   P.554)
●When the electronic key battery is  depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis- 
play, airport or other facility that gen-
erates strong radio waves or electrical 
noise
●When carrying a portable radio, cellu-
lar phone, cordless phone or other  wireless communication device
●When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the 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 wirele ss keys (that emit  
radio waves) are being used nearby
●When carrying the electronic key 
together with the following devices  that emit radio waves 
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a 
wireless key that emits radio waves • Personal computers or personal digi- 
tal assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players • Portable game systems
●If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the  
rear window
●When the electronic key is placed 
near a battery charger or electronic 
devices
●When the vehicle is parked in a pay 
parking spot where radio waves are  emitted 
If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked  
using the smart entry & start system,  lock/unlock the doors by performing any  
of the following:
●Bring the electronic key close to either 
front door handle and operate the 
entry function.
●Operate the wireless remote control. 
If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked  using the above methods, use the  
mechanical key. ( P.555) 
If the engine cannot be started using the  smart entry & start system refer  
to P.555.
■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.

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
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)
●Setting the electronic key to bat- tery-saving mode helps to reduce key  
battery depletion. ( P.138)
■To operate the system properly 
Make sure to carry the electronic key  when operating the system. Do not get  
the electronic key too close to the vehi-
cle when operating the system from the
