Operating range of request switch
69T030320
(a) 80 cm (2.6 ft)
When the remote controller is within
approximately 80 cm (2.6 ft) from a front
door handle or the tailgate switch, you can
lock or unlock the doors by pushing the
request switch.
NOTE:
• Even if the remote controller is within the
operating range of the request switch,
the remote controller may not be
detected and the request switch may not
operate in the following conditions:
– When the battery of the remote con-
troller runs down
– When the remote controller is inter-
fered with strong radio waves or noise
– When the remote controller is in con-
tact with or covered by a metal object
– When the remote controller is too
close to the door glass
– When the remote controller is far from
the request switch such as near the
ground, on a high position or in your
hip pocket
• The request switch operates only
towards the door within the operating
range. For example, if the remote con-
troller is within the operating range of the
driver’s door, the request switch on the
driver’s door operates. However, the
request switches on the passenger’s
door and the tailgate does not operate.
• If a spare remote controller is in the vehi-
cle, the request switch may not operate
normally.
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, stop the
engine and lock the doors to avoid
the risk of fire and theft.
