■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key 
onto an aircraft, make sure you do 
not press any buttons on the elec-
tronic key while inside the aircraft 
cabin. If you are carrying an elec-
tronic key in your bag, etc., ensure 
that the buttons are  not likely to be 
pressed accidentally. Pressing a 
button may cause the electronic key 
to emit radio waves that could inter-
fere with the oper ation of the air-
craft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 
years.
●If the battery becomes low, an 
alarm will sound in the cabin and a 
message will be s hown on the 
multi-information  display when the 
engine is stopped.
●To reduce key battery depletion 
when the electronic key is to not 
be used for long periods of time, 
set the electronic key to the bat-
tery-saving mode. ( P.104)
●As the electronic key always 
receives radio waves, the battery 
will become depleted  even if the 
electronic key is not used. The fol-
lowing symptoms indicate that the 
electronic key battery may be 
depleted. Replace the battery 
when necessary. ( P.304)
• The smart key system or the wire-
less remote contro l does not oper-
ate.
• The detection area becomes 
smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key sur- face does not turn on.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do 
not leave the electronic key within 
3 ft. (1 m) of the following electri-
cal appliances that produce a 
magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones  and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or  cordless phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
●If the electronic key is near the 
vehicle for longer than necessary, 
even if the smart key system is not 
operated, the key battery may 
become depleted faster than nor-
mal.

■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 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 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 unl ock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not 
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the engine if the elec-
tronic 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 w ithin the effec-
tive range. (The  doors will auto-
matically be locked after 
approximately 60 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 possib ility that the door 
may not be unlocke d by the entry 
function. (Use the wireless remote  control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock or unlock 
sensor while wearing gloves may 
prevent lock or unlock operation.
●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 
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that 
case, follow the 
following correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:
• Place the electronic key in a loca-
tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from 
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure 
that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to bat- tery-saving mode to disable the 
smart key system. ( P.104)
●If the electronic key is inside the 
vehicle and a door handle 
becomes wet during a car wash, a 
message may be shown on the 
multi-information 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 comes into contact 
with ice, snow, m ud, etc. Clean 
the lock sensor and attempt to 
operate it again.
●A sudden handle operation or a 
handle operation immediately 
after entering the effective range 
may prevent the doors from being 
unlocked. Touch the door unlock 
sensor and check that the doors 
are unlocked befo re pulling the 
door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in 
the detection area, it may take 
slightly longer to unlock the doors 
after the door handle is gripped.
