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, 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

window when the glass hatch is opened.

°

The electronic key is on the instrument panel, luggage cover or floor, or in the

glove box.

●

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 con-

ditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside 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 elec-

tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.

●

The doors may lock or unlock if the electronic key is within the effective range

and 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 a door is 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.)
