Alarms and warning indicators

A combination of exterior and interior alarms as well as warning messages shown

resulting from erroneous operation. Take appropriate measures in response to any warning message on the multi-information display.

The following table describes circumstances and correction procedures when only alarms are sounded.

Security feature


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.

Battery-saving function

In the following circumstances, the entry function is disabled in order to prevent the
vehicle 12-volt battery from discharging and the electronic key battery from depleting.

When the entry function has not been used for 5 days or more When the electronic key has been left within approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle for 10 minutes or more If the entry function has not been used for 14 days or more, the vehicle cannot
be unlocked by a door other than the driver's door. To unlock the vehicle, grip the driver's door handle or use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key.

The system will resume operation when: The vehicle is locked using the lock sensor.

The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the wireless remote control function.

The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the mechanical key.

Conditions affecting operation

The smart access system with push-button start uses weak radio waves. In the following
situations, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be affected, preventing the smart access system with push-button start, wireless
remote control and immobilizer system from operating properly.

When the electronic key battery is depleted.

Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display,
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 devices.

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 multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity.

When another wireless key (that emits radio waves) is 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.

Note for the entry function

l 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 or floor, or in the
glove box.

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 electronic 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.)

Notes for locking the doors

Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.

When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition signals
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 effective
range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key in a position 6 ft.

(2 m) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.) 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 display 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, or use the lock sensor on the lower part of the door handle.

Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door handle.

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

Notes for the unlocking function

Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.

A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle 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.

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 access system with push-button start can be deactivated in advance.

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.)

If the smart access system with push-button start does not operate properly

Locking and unlocking the doors: Use the mechanical key.

Electronic key battery depletion

The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The card key battery life is about a year
and a half.).

As the electronic key always transmits radio waves, the battery will become depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indicate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary.

• The smart access system with push-button start or the wireless remote control does not operate.

• The detection area becomes smaller.

• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.

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.

• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers.

• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones.

• Glass top ranges.

• Table lamps.
