1243-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
●Touching the door lock or unlock sen-
sor while wearing gloves may prevent lock or unlock operation.
●On some models: When the lock operation is performed using the lock
sensor, 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.122)
●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.538)
●Setting the electronic key to bat-
tery-saving mode helps to reduce key battery depletion. ( P.122)
■To operate the system properly
●Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating th e system. Do not
get the electronic key too close to the
vehicle when operating the system from the outside of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the key
may not be detected correctly and the
system may not operate properly. (The alarm may go off accidentally, or the
door lock prevention function may not
operate.)
●Do not leave the electronic key inside
the trunk. The key confinement prevention func-
tion may not operate, depending on
the location of the key (the inside edge of the trunk), conditions (inside a
metal bag, close to metallic objects)
and the radio waves in the surround- ing area. ( P.120)
■If the smart entry & start system
does not operate properly
●Locking and unlocking the doors
(vehicles with entry function): P.512
●Starting the engine: P.512
■Customization
Some functions can be customized.
( P.538)
■If the smart entry & start system has been deactivated in a custom-
ized setting

running lights ( P.178) and all
the lights listed below turn on
and off automatically.
2 The front position, tail,
license plate and instrument
panel lights turn on.
3 The headlights and all the
lights listed above turn on.
■AUTO mode can be used when
The engine switch is in ON.
■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime running lights turn on automati-
cally whenever the engine is started and
the parking brake is released with the
headlight switch in the position.
(Illuminate brighter than the front posi-
tion lights.) Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function properly if an object is placed on the sensor, or
anything that blo cks the sensor is
affixed to the windshield. Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the autom atic headlight sys- tem to malfunction.

come on when the system is operating.
■Conditions to turn the high beams
on/off automatically
●When all of the following conditions
are met, the high beams will be turned on automatically (after approximately
1 second):
• The vehicle speed is approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the road
ahead.
●If any of the following conditions are
met, the high beams will turn off auto- matically:
• The vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 30 km/h (19 mph). • The area ahead of the vehicle is not
dark.
• Vehicles ahead have their headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the
road ahead.
■Camera sensor detection informa-
tion
●The high beams may not be automati-
cally turned off in the following situa- tions:
• When a vehicle suddenly appears
from around a curve
AHB (Automatic High
Beam)*
The Automatic High Beam
uses a camera sensor located
behind the upper portion of the
windshield to assess the
brightness of the lights of vehi-
cles ahead, streetlights, etc.,
and automatically turns the
high beams on or off as neces-
sary.
WA R N I N G
■Limitations of the Automatic High Beam
Do not overly rely on the Automatic
High Beam. Always drive safely, tak- ing care to observe your surroundings
and turning the high beams on or off

Activating the Automatic
High Beam
1824-3. Operating the lights and wipers
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by
another vehicle • When vehicles ahead cannot be
detected due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees • When vehicles ahead appear in a far-
away lane on a wide road
• When the lights of vehicles ahead are not on
●The high beams may be turned off if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights
without its headlights turned on is
detected.
●House lights, streetlights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or signs and other reflective objects may
cause the high beams to change to
the low beams, or the low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken for the high
beams to turn on or off:
• The brightness of the headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehi-
cles ahead • When a vehicle ahead only has oper-
ational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient,
curve, condition of the road surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and
amount of luggage in the vehicle
●The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may not
be detected.
●In the following sit uations the system
may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness level. This may cause the low beams to remain
on or the high beams to flash or daz-
zle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In such a case, it is necessary to manu-
ally switch between the high and low
beams. • When driving in inclement weather
(heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms,
etc.)
• When the windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or
damaged • When the camera sensor is deformed
or dirty
• When the temperature of the camera sensor is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness
level is equal to that of headlights, tail lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehi-
cles ahead are turned off, dirty, chang- ing color, or not aimed properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water,
snow, dust, etc. from a preceding vehicle
• When driving through an area of inter-
mittently changing brightness and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly driv-
ing ascending/descending roads, or roads with rough, bumpy or uneven
surfaces (such as stone-paved roads,
gravel roads, etc.) • When frequently and repeatedly tak-
ing curves or driving on a winding
road • When there is a highly reflective
object ahead of the vehicle, such as a
sign or mirror • When the back of a preceding vehicle
is highly reflective, such as a con-
tainer on a truck • When the vehicle’s headlights are
damaged or dirty, or are not aimed
properly • When the vehicle is listing or titling
due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed,
etc. • When the headlights are changed
between the high beams and low
beams repeatedly in an abnormal
manner • When the driver believes that the high
beams may be flashing or dazzling
