when the doors are unlocked.

●

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

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 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 door will automatically be

locked after approximately 60 seconds if

the doors are not opened and closed.)

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.

●

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.
