■To prevent an accident 
Observe the following precautions  while driving the vehicle. 
Failure to do so may result in a door 
opening and an occupant being  thrown out of the vehicle, resulting in  
death or serious injury.
●Ensure that all doors are properly 
closed and locked.
●Do not pull the inside door handle 
while driving.
Be especially careful of the front  doors, as the doors may be opened  
even if the inside lock buttons are in 
the locked position.
●Set the rear door child-protector 
locks when children are seated in  the rear seats.
■When opening or closing a door 
Check the surroundings of the vehicle  
such as whether the vehicle is on an 
incline, whether there is enough  space for a door to open and whether  
a strong wind is blowing. When open-
ing or closing the door, hold the door  handle tightly to prepare for any  
unpredictable movement.
■When using the wireless remote  control or the key and operating  
the power windows or panoramic 
moon roof (if equipped)

ramic moon roof after checking to 
make sure that there is no possibility  of any passenger having any of their  
body parts caught in the windows or 
panoramic moon roof. Also, do not  allow children to operate the wireless  
remote control or the key. It is possi-
ble for children and other passengers  to get caught in the power windows or  
panoramic moon roof.

■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
