Note for the entry function

Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas), the

system may not operate properly in the following cases.

The electronic key is too close to the window 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

rear bumper center when the trunk is unlocked.

The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear package tray or floor, or in

the glove box when the engine is started or “ENGINE START STOP” switch

modes are changed.

As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be

locked or unlocked by anyone.

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. (The doors will automatically be locked after

approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)

Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.

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.)

A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle operation 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.

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.
