●

When battery-saving mode is set, battery

depletion is minimized by stopping the

electronic key from receiving radio

waves.

holding .
Confirm that the electronic key indicator

flashes 4 times. While the battery-saving

■

Conditions affecting operation

The smart access system with push-button

start uses weak radio waves. In the follow-

ing situations, the communication between

the electronic key and the vehicle may be

affected, preventing the smart access sys-

tem with push-button start, wireless remote

control and engine immobilizer system

from operating properly. (Ways of coping:



P.376)

●

When the electronic key battery is

depleted

●

Near a TV tower, electric power plant,

gas station, radio station, large display,

airport or other facility that generates

strong radio waves or electrical noise

●

When carrying a portable radio, cellular

phone, cordless phone or other wireless

communication device

●

When the electronic key is in contact

with, or is covered by the following metal-

lic objects

• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached

• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil

inside

• Metallic wallets or bags

• Coins

• Hand warmers made of metal

• Media such as CDs and DVDs

●

When other wireless keys (that emit

radio waves) are being used nearby

●

When carrying the electronic key

together with the following devices that

emit radio waves

• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a

wireless key that emits radio waves

• Personal computers or personal digital

assistants (PDAs)

• Digital audio players

• Portable game systems

●

If window tint with a metallic content or

metallic objects are attached to the rear

window

●

When the electronic key is placed near a

battery charger or electronic devices

●

When the vehicle is parked in a pay park-

ing spot where radio waves are emitted.

■

Note for the entry function

●

Even when the electronic key is within the

effective range (detection areas), the sys-

tem may not operate properly in the fol-

lowing cases:

• The electronic key is too close to the win-

dow or outside door handle, near the

ground, or in a high place when the doors

are locked or unlocked.

• The electronic key is on the instrument

panel, luggage room, 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 outside 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

115

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

fore
dri
ving

or unlocked by anyone. However, 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 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 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 possibility 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 sensor again.

●

When the lock operation is performed

using the lock sensor, recognition 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 follow-

ing correction procedures to wash the

vehicle:

• Place the electronic key in a location 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 battery-saving

mode to disable the smart access system

with push-button start. (



P.114)

●

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle

and a door handle becomes wet during a

car wash, a buzzer may sound outside the

vehicle and “Key Detected in Vehicle”

may be shown on the multi-information

display. To turn off the alarm, lock all the

doors.

●

The lock sensor may not work properly if

it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud,

etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to

operate it again.

●

A sudden approach to the effective

range or door handle may prevent 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.

●

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.

■

When the vehicle is not driven 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 access system with push-but-

ton start can be deactivated in advance.

●

Setting the electronic key to battery-sav-

ing mode helps to reduce key battery

depletion. (

■

To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic key when

operating the system. Do not get the elec-

tronic key too close to the vehicle 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 system

may not operate properly. (The alarm may

go off accidentally, or the door lock preven-

tion may not operate.)

■

If the smart access system with push-

button start does not operate properly

●

If the doors cannot be locked or

unlocked, perform the following.

• Bring the electronic key close to the door

handle and perform a lock or unlock

operation.

• Use the wireless remote control.
If the doors cannot be locked or unlocked
by perform the above, use the mechanical
key. (
