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 function.)

■

Note for the smart access system with push-button start

●

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 hybrid system is started or “POWER” 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

hybrid system 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 when the electronic key is within the effective

range. (The doors will automatically be locked after approximately 60 seconds

if the doors are not opened and closed.)
