1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

■

Notes for locking 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.

●

If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective

range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key in a position 6 ft.

(2 m) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed. (Take

care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)

●

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, or use the lock

sensor on the lower part of the door handle.

●

Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door handle.

Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the door.

■

Notes for the unlocking function

●

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

●

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.

■

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 access system with push-button start can be deactivated in advance.
