■Operation signals

A buzzer sounds and the emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been locked/unlocked. (Locked: Once; Unlocked: Twice)

■Conditions affecting operation

The smart key system uses weak radio waves. In the following situations, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be affected, preventing the smart key system and wireless remote control from operating properly. (Ways of coping: →P. 539) ●When the electronic key battery is depleted ●Near a TV tower, electronic power plant, gas station, radio station, large display, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or elec- trical noise

●When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other

wireless communication devices

●When the electronic key has come into contact with, or is covered by a

metallic object

●When multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity ●When carrying or using the electronic key together with the following

devices that emit radio waves • Another vehicle’s electronic key • A wireless key that emits radio waves • Personal computer

●If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to

the rear window

■Switching the door unlock function

It is possible to set which doors the entry function unlocks. STEP 1

Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch OFF.

■Electronic key battery depletion

●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The battery becomes depleted even if the electronic key is not used.) If the smart key system or the wireless remote control function does not operate, or the detection area becomes smaller, the battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. (→P. 473)

●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1 m) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field. • TVs • Personal computers • Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones • Table lamps

■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 func- tion.)

■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 on the instrument panel, luggage cover, 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.

40

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

●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 elec- tronic 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.)

■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. ■Security feature

If a door is not opened within approximately 60 seconds after the vehicle is unlocked, the security feature automatically locks the vehicle again.

■Alarms and warning indicators

A combination of exterior and interior alarms as well as warning lights and warning messages shown on the multi-information display are used to reduce the chance of vehicle theft and accidents resulting from erroneous operation. ●When any warning lights come on:

Take appropriate measures according to which warning light comes on. (→P. 510)

●When a warning message is shown on the multi-information display:

Take appropriate measures according to the warning message on the multi-information display. (→P. 521)

■When adjusting a rear seat or removing the second center seat

●Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage. ●Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt. If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.

●Be careful not to get your hands or feet caught in the seat.

■Before folding down the rear seats

Do not fold down a rear seat when there are passengers sitting in the rear seats or when there is luggage placed on the rear seats.

lightly rocking them back and forth.

●Second center seat: Make sure the seat is locked in place by trying to

shake the seatback and lift up the rear part of the seat cushion.
