Using the Smart Entry with Push Button Start System

*

If you do not open a door or the tailgate within 30 
seconds of unlocking the vehicle with the smart entry 
system, the doors will automatically relock.
You can lock or unlock doors using the smart entry 
system only when the power mode is in VEHICLE OFF.

•

Do not leave the smart entry remote in the vehicle 
when you get out. Carry it with you.

•

Even if you are not carrying the smart entry remote, 
you can lock/unlock the doors and tailgate while 
someone else with the remote is within range.

•

The door may be unlocked if the door handle is 
covered with water in heavy rain or in a car wash if 
the smart entry remote is within range.

•

If you grip a door handle wearing gloves, the door 
sensor may be slow to respond or may not respond 
by unlocking the doors.

•

After locking the door, you have up to 2 seconds 
during which you can pull the door handle to 
confirm whether the door is locked. If you need to 
unlock the door immediately after locking it, wait 
at least 2 seconds before gripping the handle, 
otherwise the door will not unlock.

•

The door might not open if you pull it immediately 
after gripping the door handle. Grip the handle 
again and confirm that the door is unlocked before 
pulling the handle.

•

Even within the 32 inches (80 cm) radius, you may 
not be able to lock/unlock the doors and the 
tailgate with the smart entry remote if it is above or 
below the outside handle.

•

The smart entry remote may not operate if it is too 
close to the door and door glass.

Locking the vehicle (Walk away auto lock)

The auto lock function is set to OFF as the factory 
default setting. The auto lock function can be set to 
ON using the audio/information screen or MID.
If you set the auto lock function to ON using the 
audio/information screen or the MID, only the remote 
transmitter that was used to unlock the driver’s door 
prior to the setting change can activate auto lock.

2 Customization flow P. 112

After the auto lock function has been activated, when 
you stay within the locking/unlocking operation range, 
the indicator on the smart entry remote will continue 
to flash until the doors are locked.

When you stay beside the vehicle within the 
operation range, the doors will automatically lock 
approximately 30 seconds after the auto lock 
function activating beeper sounds.

When you open a door after the auto lock function 
activating beeper sounds, the auto lock function will 
be delayed until all doors and tailgate are closed.

When all doors and tailgate have been closed and the 
smart entry remote is inside the vehicle, or if the 
smart entry remote is not detected within about 
5 feet (1.5 m) of the vehicle, auto lock function will 
not be activated.

When all doors and  tailgate have been closed, the 
warning beeper will sounds to indicate that the smart 
entry remote is not detected within the operation 
range.

surroundings.

The remote transmitter will not work when the key is 
in the ignition switch.

You can lock or unlock doors using the remote 
transmitter or smart entry system only when the
