In the following situations, the smart key system may take some time to unlock the doors.

The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.

The smart key system has not been used for 5 days or longer.

If the smart key system has not been used for 14 days or longer, the doors cannot be unlocked at any doors except the driver’s door. In this case, take hold of the driver’s door handle, or use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key, to unlock the doors.

Conditions affecting operation

125

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, wireless remote control and engine immobi- lizer system from operating properly. (Ways of coping: P. 523)

When the electronic key battery is depleted

Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis- play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise

When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless communication device

When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following metallic objects

Cards to which aluminum foil is attached

Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside

Metallic wallets or bags

Coins

Hand warmers made of metal

Media such as CDs and DVDs

When other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby

When carrying the electronic key together with the following devices that emit radio waves

Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves

Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)

Digital audio players

Portable game systems

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

When the electronic key is placed near a battery charger or electronic devices

126 3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

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 near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the rear bumper center when the trunk is opened.

The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear package tray or floor, or in the door pockets or glove box when the engine is started or engine switch modes are changed.

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 recep- tion conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin and the doors 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.

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.

The doors may unlock or lock 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.)

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.)

Touching the door lock or unlock sensor while wearing gloves may prevent lock or unlock operation.

When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition sig- nals 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 effec- tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In this case, follow the following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:

Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from the vehicle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)

Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart key system. (P. 124)

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

127

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 dis- play 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.

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

A sudden handle operation or a handle operation immediately after entering the effective range may prevent the doors from being unlocked. Touch the door unlock sensor and check that the doors are unlocked before pulling the door handle again.

Unlocking the vehicle may take more time if another electronic key is within the effective range.

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 key system can be deactivated in advance. (P. 564)

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 function may not operate.)

If the smart key system does not operate properly

Locking and unlocking the doors: Use the mechanical key. (P. 523)

Starting the engine: P. 524
