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.

within the effective range, the
doors may be locked or unlocked
by anyone. However, only the

while wearing gloves may delay or
prevent lock operation. Remove
the gloves and touch the lock sen-
sor again.
