1223-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
●Interior buzzer sounds continuously
■Battery-saving function (vehicles
with entry 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.
■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, wirele ss remote control and engine immobilizer system from
operating properly.
●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

Before driving
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 wireless 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 en try & start system,
lock/unlock the doors by performing any of the following (vehicles with entry func-
tion):
●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.512)
If the engine cannot be started using the
smart entry & start system refer to P.512.
■Note for the entr y function (if
equipped)
●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.
• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the
center of the rear bumper when the
trunk is opened. • The electronic key is on the instru-
ment panel, rear package tray 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.)
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
●Locking and unlocking the doors (vehicles with entry function): Use the
wireless remote control or mechanical
key. ( P.113, 512)
●Starting the engine and changing
engine switch modes: P.512
●Stopping the engine: P.162
