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

6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
Interior features
The defoggers will automatically turn off  
after a while.
■Fogging up of the windows
●Vehicles with the “A/C” switch: The  
windows will easily fog up when the 
humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning  “A/C” switch is on will dehumidify the  
air from the outlets and defog the 
windshield effectively.
●Vehicles with the “A/C” switch: If you 
turn “A/C” switch is off, the windows  may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recir-culated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads 
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by  
the vehicle is still dr awn into the vehicle  after closing the windows, it is recom- 
mended that the air intake mode be set 
to outside air mode and the fan speed to  any setting except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in pre- 
venting dirty air from entering the 
vehicle interior.
●Vehicles with the “A/C” switch: During 
cooling operation, setting the recircu-
lated air mode will also cool the vehi- cle interior effectively.
■When the outside temperature falls  
to nearly 0°C (32°F) (vehicles with 
the “A/C” switch) 
The dehumidification function may not  
operate even when “A/C” switch is 
pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning  odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condition-ing system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into  
and accumulate in the air conditioning 
system. This may then cause odor to  be emitted from the vents.
●It is recommended that the air condi- 
tioning system be set to outside air  mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
●When parking, the system automati-cally switches to outside air mode to  
encourage better air circulation 
throughout the vehicle, helping to  reduce odors that occur when starting  
the vehicle.

changes according  to the selected  
air flow mode.
WA R N I N G
■To prevent the windshield from  fogging up 
Do not use the windshield defogger  
switch during cool air operation in  extremely humid weather. The differ- 
ence between the temperature of the 
outside air and that of the windshield  can cause the outer surface of the  
windshield to fog up, blocking your 
vision.
■When the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are operating 
Do not touch the outside rear view  
mirror surfaces, as they can become 
very hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge 
Do not leave the air conditioning sys- 
tem on longer than necessary when  the engine is off.
