3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
Before driving
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.
●When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition sig-nals will be shown up to two consecu-
tive 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.137)
●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 lon- ger 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.457)
●Setting the electronic key to battery- saving mode helps to reduce key bat-tery depletion. ( P.137)
■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 outside of the vehicle.Depending on the position and holding
condition of the electronic key, the key may not be detected correctly and the
