Notes 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 near the ground or

in a high place, or too close to the center

of the rear bumper when the trunk is

opened.

• The electronic key is on the instrument

panel, rear package tray or floor, or in the

door pockets or glove box when the

hybrid 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 outside the cabin and the doors

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 unlock the vehicle.

●

Even if the electronic key is not inside the

vehicle, it may be possible to start the

hybrid system if the electronic 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 within

the effective 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 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.

●

Unlocking the vehicle may take more

time if another electronic key is within the

effective range.

●

If the door handle becomes wet while the

electronic key is within the effective

range, the door may lock and unlock

repeatedly. In this 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. (

●

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 vehicle. 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.
