WARNING

Keep all doors locked when you
drive, especially when small chil-
dren are in your vehicle.

Along with the proper use of seat-
belts and child restraints, locking
the doors reduces the chance of
being thrown out of the vehicle in an
accident.

It also helps prevent passengers
from falling out by preventing a door
from being accidentally opened, and
intruders from unexpectedly open-
ing doors and entering your vehicle.

Safety precautions

Regarding radio wave

WARNING

If you wear an implanted pacemaker
or an implanted defibrillator, stay at
least 8.7 in (22 cm) away from the
transmitting antennas installed on
the vehicle.

The radio waves from the transmit-
ting antennas on the vehicle could
adversely affect the operation of

implanted pacemakers and im-
planted defibrillators.

If you wear electric medical equip-
ment other than an implanted pace-
maker or an implanted defibrillator,
before using the keyless access
with push-button start system, refer
to “Radio waves used for the key-
less access with push-button start
system” F2-10, and contact the
electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for more information. The
radio waves from the transmitting
antennas on the vehicle could ad-
versely affect the operation of the
electric medical equipment.

NOTE

The status of the access key fob and
environmental conditions may interfere
with the communication between the
access key fob and the vehicle under
the following conditions.
.

When you operate near a source of

strong radio waves or other interfer-
ence, such as a broadcast station or
power transmission lines
.

When products that transmit radio

waves are used, such as an access key
fob or a remote transmitter key fob of
another vehicle

When you carry the access key fob

of your vehicle together with an access
key fob or a remote transmitter of
another vehicle
.

When the access key fob is placed

near wireless communication equip-
ment such as a cell phone, or near a
metallic object
.

When metallic accessories are at-

tached to the access key fob
.

When you carry the access key fob

with electronic appliances such as a
laptop computer
.

When the battery of the access key

fob is discharged

In such cases, it may not be possible to
lock or unlock the doors or start the
engine.

Regarding malfunction

CAUTION

Doing so will increase the risk of
vehicle theft.
.

When you try to register “22222”, the

registered PIN code will be deleted. You
cannot unlock the doors by PIN Code
Access until a new code is registered.
.

After registering a new PIN code,

Tips

Operating range tips

Regarding malfunction:
The keyless access function may not
operate properly due to the following
reasons.
.

The access key fob is placed too close

to the vehicle body (in this case, repeat the
operation from further away).
.

The access key fob is placed near the

ground or in an elevated location from the

ground, even if it is in the operating range.
.

The status of the access key fob and

the radio wave conditions around the
vehicle (in this case, perform the proce-
dure described in “Locking and unlocking”
F9-17.)

Precautions:
.

When the access key fob is within the

operating range, it is possible for anyone,
even someone who is not carrying the
access key fob, to operate the keyless
access function. Please note that the
keyless access function is only available
for the following items when the access
key fob is detected within operating range.

– Door handle
– Door lock sensor
– Trunk opener button

It is not possible to lock the doors using

the keyless access function when the
access key fob is inside the vehicle.
However, depending on the status of the
access key fob and the environmental
conditions, the access key fob may be
locked inside the vehicle. Before locking,
make sure that you have the access key
fob.
.

The operating ranges may be reduced,

or the keyless access function may not
operate in the following cases:

– When the battery of the access key

fob is discharged
– When the access key fob is in a
location with strong radio waves or
noise (e.g., near a radio tower, power
plant, broadcast station or an area
where wireless equipment is used)
– While talking on a cell phone

In such a case, perform the procedure
described in “Locking and unlocking” F9-
17
.

When an access key fob is in the

operating range, if the door handle be-
comes wet due to exposure to a significant
amount of water when the vehicle is
washed or during heavy rain, the doors
may be locked or unlocked.

Keyless access function tips

Turn off the push-button ignition switch

before locking the doors using the keyless
access function. It is not possible to lock
the doors using the keyless access func-
tion when the push-button ignition switch is
on the “ACC” or “ON” position. For details
about turning off the push-button ignition
switch, refer to “Switching power status”
F3-7.
.

If the door handle is gripped or the door

lock sensor is touched with a gloved hand,
the doors may not be locked or unlocked.
.

If the door lock sensor is touched three

times or more repeatedly, the system will

ignore the sensor operation.
.

When performing the locking proce-

dure too quickly, doors may not be locked.
After the locking procedures, it is recom-
mended to pull the REAR door handles to
confirm that the doors have been locked.
.
