The entry function and start function
are available to use when a registered
key is in the actuation area.
1. Entry function actuation area—About
1 m (3 ft.) from each outside door
handle and trunk opener switch.
If the key is close to the door handle,
windows and center of the rear bump-
er, the entry function may not be acti-
vated.
2. Start function actuation area—Inside
of the cabin.
The start function may not be activated
if the key is on the instrument panel,
on the package tray, in the glove box
or on the floor, etc.
In the following cases, the smart key sys-
tem may not operate properly.
When facilities issuing strong electro-
magnetic waves such as TV towers,
electric power stations, broad casting
stations are nearby.
When you are carrying an electronic
key together with a mobile communica-
tions system such as a two- way radio
or cellular phone.

with or covered by a metallic object.

wireless remote control function on
another vehicle near your vehicle.

ate properly and you cannot enter, you
can lock and unlock all the doors by
