Note for the unlocking function

●

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.

●

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

Remove the gloves and touch the sensor on the back of the handle again.

●

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 there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly longer

to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.

●

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.

■

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.

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 vehicle.

Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the key may

not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The alarm may

go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not operate.)
