■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is 
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not 
operate properly in the following 
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to  the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high 
place when the doors are locked 
or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, luggage cover or 
floor, or in the door pockets or 
glove box when the EV system is 
started or power 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 reception conditions, it may 
be detected by the antenna out-
side 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, the 
doors may be locked or unlocked 
by anyone. However, only the 
doors detecting the electronic key 
can be used to lo ck or unlock the 
vehicle.
●Even if the electro nic key is not 
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the EV system if the 
electronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock 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 au tomatically be 
locked after approximately 60 sec-
onds 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 possib ility that the door 
may not be unlocked by the entry 
function. (Use the wireless remote 
control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor 
while wearing gloves may delay or 
prevent lock operation. Remove 
the gloves and touch the lock sen-
sor again.
●When the lock operation is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition 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 effective range, the door may

multi-informatio n display and a 
buzzer will sound outside the vehi-
cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all 
the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work 
properly if it com es into contact 
with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean 
the lock sensor and attempt to 
operate it again.

tive range or door handle may pre-
vent the doors from being 
unlocked. In this case, return the 
door handle to the original position 
and check that the doors unlock 
before pulling the door handle 
again.

the detection area, it may take 
slightly longer to unlock the doors 
after the door handle is gripped.

for extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do 
not leave the electronic key within 
6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle.
●The smart key system can be 
deactivated in advance. ( P.569)
●Battery-saving mode can reduce 
the power consumption of elec-
tronic keys. ( P.188)
