WARNING

■

The information display at 

low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to 

warm up before using the liquid 

crystal information display. At 

extremely low temperatures, the 

display monitor may respond 

slowly, and display changes may 

be delayed.
For example, there is a lag 

between the driver’s shifting and 

the new gear number appearing 

on the display. This lag could 

cause the driver to downshift 

again, causing rapid and exces-

sive engine braking and possibly 

an accident resulting in death or 

injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the 

engine and its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle 

of the tachometer enter the red 

zone, which indicates the maxi-

mum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating 

if the engine coolant tempera-

ture gauge is in the red zone 

(“H”). In this case, immediately 

stop the vehicle in a safe place, 

and check the engine after it 

has cooled completely.

When bringing a key with wireless 

remote control function onto an air-

craft, make sure you do not press 

any buttons on the key while inside 

the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying 

the key in your bag etc., ensure that 

the buttons are not likely to be 

pressed accidentally. Pressing a 

button may cause the key to emit

■

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 unlock 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 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 sec-

onds 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 sen-

sor again.

●

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 

132

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

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 battery-

saving mode to disable the smart 

key system. (



P.130)

●

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, mud, etc. Clean 

the lock sensor and attempt to 

operate it again, or use the lock 

sensor on the lower part of the 

door handle.

●

A sudden approach to the effec-

tive range or door handle may pre-

vent 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 key system can be 

deactivated in advance. (



P.703)

●

Battery-saving mode can reduce 

the power consumption of elec-

tronic keys. (

P.130)

■

To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic 

key when operating the system. Do 

not get the electronic key too close 

to the vehicle when operating the 

system from the outside of the vehi-

cle.
Depending on the position and hold-

ing condition of the electronic key, 

the key may not be detected cor-

rectly and the system may not oper-

ate properly. (The alarm may go off 

accidentally, or the door lock pre-

vention may not operate.)
