operating properly. (Ways of coping:
P.357)
●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

1123-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
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 doors 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.
●Vehicles without a double locking sys-
tem: When the lock operation is per-
formed using the lock sensor, recognition signals will be shown up to
three 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 this 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. 1 1 1 )
●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
both side 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.
●Unlocking the vehicle may take more
time if another electronic key is within the effective range.
■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. 1 1 3 )
●Setting the electronic key to bat-
tery-saving mode helps to reduce key battery depletion. ( P. 1 1 1 )
■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.
