CAUTION:
As weak radio waves are emitted from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, if a pacemaker is being used, be sure to read the pacemaker instruction manual and the following.
People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should maintain a reasonable distance between themselves and the entry and start system antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary, the entry function can be disabled. Ask your dealer for details, such as the frequency of radio waves and timing of the emitted radio waves. Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entry function.
User of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device for information about its operation under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
Ask your dealer for details for disabling the entry function.

PRECAUTION WHEN USING GTS
When using the GTS with the engine switch off, connect the GTS to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the GTS and the vehicle begins. Then select Model Code "KEY REGIST" under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Entry&Start. While using the GTS, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the GTS and the vehicle.
PRECAUTION RELATED TO VEHICLE BATTERY
The entry unlock function may not operate immediately after the cables are reconnected to the battery. If this occurs, the entry unlock function can be restored by performing a wireless door lock and unlock or mechanical key operation.
When the doors are locked, electrical waves are sent from the vehicle, which uses power from the battery. This means that the battery may be depleted if the vehicle is left for a long time. When not using the vehicle for a long time, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal or cancel the entry and start system*.
PRECAUTION WHEN REPLACING PARTS
If replacing any of the following parts, refer to the Service Bulletin.
Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)
Electrical key transmitter sub-assembly
Main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU)
Door control receiver (for 12 Pin Type)
If the door control receiver is replaced, it is necessary to register the electrical key transmitter sub-assemblies to the new door control receiver and perform registration and initialization.
PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL KEY TRANSMITTER SUB-ASSEMBLY
The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is a precision instrument. Be sure to observe the following:
Do not subject the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly to strong physical shocks.
Do not keep the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in a high temperature area for a long time.
Do not use an ultrasonic washing machine to clean the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
Do not use the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near any magnets or magnetized items.
Do not place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near magnetic equipment, such as digital audio players, induction cookers, medical devices that generate low-frequency electromagnetic waves, etc.
Do not attach any stickers to the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
Do not disassemble the electrical key transmitter sub-assemblies.
The mechanical key should only be used in an emergency, such as when the transmitter battery is depleted.
When the doors are locked and an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the detection area of an electrical key antenna, the transmitter battery may be depleted due to periodic communication between the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and the vehicle. If the vehicle is not to be used for a long time, keep the key away from the vehicle (more than 2 m (6.56 ft.)).
Tech Tips
To set the transmitter battery saving mode function, refer to the entry and start system (for Start Function).
PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSPECTING ENTRY AND START SYSTEM (for Entry Function)
General precaution for the entry and start system (for Entry Function):
Always carry the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
The entry and start system (for Entry Function) may not operate normally or the key detection area may decrease in the following situations:
The transmitter battery is depleted.
There are TV towers, electric power plants, broadcasting stations, gas stations or other facilities that generate strong radio waves or electrical noise nearby.
Wireless communication devices, such as walkie-talkies, cell phones, cordless telephones, digital audio players, portable game systems, etc., are carried together with the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is covered by or in contact with objects made of metal, such as coins, certain types of cards, etc.
Metallic film is applied to the rear window glass.
A radio wave type keyless entry system or wireless remote is operated nearby.
An electrical key transmitter sub-assembly from another vehicle is nearby.
The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is placed near equipment that generates high-voltage or electrical noise.
The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is placed near an electronic device such as a battery charger.
When parking at coin-operated parking spaces (due to electrical waves used for detecting vehicles).
Operating range of the entry and start system (for Entry Function):
Due to the design of the vehicle body, there are some areas in which proper system operation is difficult.
Even if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the vehicle exterior detection area, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not be properly detected if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is near a window, a door outside handle or the center of the bumper.
Even if an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in a vehicle interior detection area, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not be properly detected if it is on the instrument panel, in the glove box or on the floor.
Depending on the way the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is held, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not operate properly.
The entry and start system (for Entry Function) will not operate under the following conditions:
The procedure to cancel the entry and start system (for Entry Function) has been performed.
There is no transmitter battery or the transmitter battery is depleted (the LED of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly does not blink when an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly switch is pressed).
PRECAUTIONS FOR ENTRY UNLOCK FUNCTION
When unlocking the doors, make sure to press the depression on the door outside handle assembly. Pull the handle after confirming that the door has unlocked.
When performing an entry unlock operation, make sure to check that the doors are unlocked before pulling a door outside handle assembly to open a door.
After a wireless door lock, manual door lock or key-linked door lock operation is performed with the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in an interior detection area or near the vehicle, an entry unlock operation cannot be performed. Therefore, when a wireless door lock operation is performed near a window or door outside handle, the entry unlock may not be able to be operated. To unlock the doors, perform a wireless door unlock operation.
If an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within a vehicle exterior detection area, the door can be unlocked even when a person other than the person carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly presses the depression on the door outside handle assembly. However, doors other than the door for which the matching code is detected cannot be unlocked (if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the vehicle exterior detection area of the driver side door and the depression on the door outside handle sub-assembly (for driver door) is pressed, the doors can be unlocked. However, if the depression on the door outside handle sub-assembly (for front passenger door) is pressed, the doors cannot be unlocked).
If a door is not opened after a door unlock operation, the doors automatically lock after approximately 30 seconds.*
If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is being carried together with an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly from another vehicle with a entry and start system and the door outside handle assembly is held, the time before the door is unlocked by the entry unlock operation may be more than normal.
