RUSH_OM_General_OMBZ265
■ Notes for locking
● The door may be locked and unlocked repeatedly if high-pressure water
was splashed on the switch on the door handle while carrying the electronic
key, such as when washing the car. In this case, place the key in a location
2 m or more away from the vehicle and wash the car. (Beware of theft.)
● In cases where high-pressure water was splashed on the switch on the door
handle while the electronic key is inside the vehicle, such as when using a
car-washing machine, the interior buzzer may sound.
● There are times when the switch cannot be pressed due to ice, snow or mud
attached on the switch on the door handle. If the switch cannot be pressed,
repeat the operation after removing the ice, snow or mud attached on the
surface.
● Fingernails may come in contact with the door when operating the switch on
the door handle. Take caution so as not to damage the door or break the
nails.
■ Notes for unlocking
● The door may not be unlocked if the door handle was pulled while pressing
on the switch on the door handle (except the back door). In this case, return
the door handle to the original position, press the switch again and pull the
door handle after confirming that the door is unlocked.
● The door may be locked and unlocked repeatedly if high-pressure water
was splashed on the switch on the door handle while carrying the electronic
key, such as when washing the car. In this case, place the key in a location
2 m or more away from the vehicle and wash the car. (Beware of theft.)
● If there is another electronic key within the effective range, it may take
slightly longer to unlock the doors after pressing the switch on the door han-
dle.
● Fingernails may come in contact with the door when operating the switch on
the door handle. Take caution so as not to damage the door or break the
nails.
■ When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
● To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 2 m
(6 ft.) of the vehicle.
● The key-free system can be deactivated in advance. (→P. 358)
■ 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.)
