When riding in an aircraft

When bringing an electronic key

onto an aircraft, make sure you do

not press any buttons on the elec-

tronic key while inside the aircraft

cabin. If you are carrying an elec-

tronic key in your bag, etc., ensure

that the buttons are not likely to be

pressed accidentally. Pressing a

button may cause the electronic key

to emit radio waves that could inter-

fere with the operation of the air-

craft.

■

Electronic key battery depletion

●

The standard battery life is 1 to 2

years.

●

If the battery becomes low, an

alarm will sound in the cabin and a

message will be shown on the

multi-information display when the

hybrid system is stopped.

●

To reduce key battery depletion

when the electronic key is to not

be used for long periods of time,

set the electronic key to the bat-

tery-saving mode. (



P.125)

●

As the electronic key always

receives radio waves, the battery

will become depleted even if the

electronic key is not used. The fol-

lowing symptoms indicate that the

electronic key battery may be

depleted. Replace the battery

when necessary. (

P.443)

• The smart key system or the wire-

less remote control does not oper-

ate.

• The detection area becomes

smaller.

• The LED indicator on the key sur-

face does not turn on.

●

To avoid serious deterioration, do

not leave the electronic key within

3 ft. (1 m) of the following electri-

cal appliances that produce a

magnetic field:

• TVs

• Personal computers

• Cellular phones, cordless phones

and battery chargers

• Recharging cellular phones or

cordless phones

• Table lamps

• Induction cookers

●

If the electronic key is near the

vehicle for longer than necessary,

even if the smart key system is not

operated, the key battery may

become depleted faster than nor-

mal.

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

■

Before driving

●

Make sure that the trunk lid is

fully closed. If the trunk lid is not

fully closed, it may open unex-

pectedly while driving and hit

near-by objects or luggage in

the trunk may be thrown out,

causing an accident.

●

Do not allow children to play in

the trunk.

If a child is accidentally locked

in the trunk, they could suffer

from heat exhaustion, suffoca-

tion or other injuries.

●

Do not allow a child to open or

close the trunk lid.

Doing so may cause the trunk

lid to open unexpectedly, or

cause the child’s hands, head,

or neck to be caught by the

closing trunk lid.

■

Important points while driving

Never let anyone sit in the trunk.

In the event of sudden braking or

a collision, they are susceptible to

death or serious injury.

■

Using the trunk

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause parts

of the body to be caught, resulting

in serious injury.

●

Remove any heavy loads, such

as snow and ice, from the trunk

lid before opening it. Failure to

do so may cause the trunk lid to

suddenly shut again after it is

opened.

●

When opening or closing the

trunk lid, thoroughly check to

make sure the surrounding area

is safe.

●

If anyone is in the vicinity, make

sure they are safe and let them

know that the trunk is about to

open or close.

●

Use caution when opening or

closing the trunk lid in windy

weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

●

The trunk lid may suddenly shut

if it is not opened fully. It is more

difficult to open or close the

trunk lid on an incline than on a

level surface, so beware of the

trunk lid unexpectedly opening

or closing by itself. Make sure

that the trunk lid is fully open

and secure before using the

trunk.

●

When closing the trunk lid, take

extra care to prevent your fin-

gers etc. from being caught.

■

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 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 instru-

ment 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 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 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 effec-

tive 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.)

●

If the doors have been locked

from outside of the vehicle and are

then not unlocked using the wire-

less remote control or smart key

system, the hybrid system cannot

be started using the smart key

system. (However, if the doors

have been locked from inside the

vehicle, the hybrid system can be

started using the smart key sys-

tem.)

If it is necessary to start the hybrid

system, it can be started using the

procedure in “If the electronic key

dose not operate properly”

(



P.496).

●

Touching the door lock or unlock

sensor while wearing gloves may

prevent lock or unlock operation.

●

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

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 bat-

tery-saving mode to disable the

smart key system. (



P.125)

●

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.

●

A sudden handle operation or a

handle operation immediately

after entering the effective range

may prevent the doors from being

unlocked. Touch the door unlock

sensor and check that the doors

are unlocked 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. (

■

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 operat-

ing the system from the outside of

the vehicle.

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 function may not operate.)

●

Do not leave the electronic key

inside the trunk.

The key confinement prevention

function may not operate, depend-
