■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
