Operation of each component■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to preve nt the electronic
key  battery  and  the  battery  from  being  discharged  while  the  veh icle is not in
operation for a long time.
● In  the  following  situations,  the  smart  key  system  may  take  some  time to
unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 6  ft. (2 m) of
the outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.

Operation of each component
■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 unl ocked.
• The  electronic  key  is  on  the  instrument  panel  or  floor,  or  in  the  console
box or glove box when the engine is started or engine switch mo des 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 w ave 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 electronic
key inside the vehicle.
● As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, th e doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting  the elec-
tronic 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  lo cked  after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
● If  the  wireless  remote  control  is  used  to  lock  the  doors  when  t he  electronic
key  is  near  the  vehicle,  there  is  a  possibility  that  the  door  m ay  not  be
unlocked  by  the  entry  function.  (Use  the  wireless  remote  contro l  to  unlock
the doors.)
● Touching  the  door  lock  or  unlock  sensor  while wearing  gloves  ma y  prevent
lock  or  unlock  operation.  Remove  the  gloves  and  touch  the  lock  sensor
again.
● When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, rec ognition sig-
nals  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 with in 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  6  ft.  (2  m)  or  more  awa y  from  the
vehicle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
• Set  the  electronic  key  to  battery-saving  mode  to  disable  the  s mart  key
system. ( P. 133)
● If  the  electronic  key  is  inside  the  vehicle  and  a  door  handle  b ecomes  wet
during  a  car  wash,  a  message  may  be  shown  on  the  multi-informat ion  dis-
play and a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off t he alarm, lock
all the doors. 

1363-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
●The  lock  sensor  may  not  work  properly  if  it  comes  into  contact  with  ice,
snow,  mud,  etc.  Clean  the  lock  sensor  and  attempt  to  operate  it   again,  or
use the lock sensor on the lower part of the door handle.
● If  there  is  another  electronic  key  in  the  detection  area,  it  ma y  take  slightly
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped. 
● A sudden handle operation or a handle operation immediately aft er entering
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.
● Fingernails  may  scrape  against  the  door  during  operation  of  the   door  han-
dle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface  of the door.
■ Note for the unlocking function
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock th e door.
● A  sudden  approach  to  the  effective  range  or  door  handle  may  prevent  the
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle  to the origi-
nal position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the  door handle
again.
● If  there  is  another  electronic  key  in  the  detection  area,  it  ma y  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  ke y  within  6  ft.
(2 m) of the vehicle.
● The smart key system can be deactivated in advance. ( P. 568)
■ 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  vehicle  when  operating  the  system  from
the outside of the vehicle.
● Depending  on  the  position  and  holding  condition  of  the  electron ic  key,  the
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operat e properly.
(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention  function may
not operate.)
