PRECAUTIONS FOR OUTSIDE VEHICLE DIGITAL KEY DETECTION RANGE/DIAGNOSTIC RANGE
Driver door/front passenger door digital key detection range
When locking/unlocking the door using the entry function, hold the digital key in your hand and hold your hand inside the detection range. Then operate the outside handle.
- HINT:
- ·
The range of the digital key detection area differs greatly depending on the type of digital key device, the way the device is held and the surrounding environment, etc.
·If operating near the edge of the vehicle such as near the driver door glass or front passenger door glass, the entry function may not operate as the vehicle may be determining that the digital key is inside the vehicle.
| *a | Digital Key Detection Range
(approximately 70 to 100 cm (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) (reference value measured using a typical device)) |
*b | Digital Key Diagnostic Range
(approximately 10 cm (3.28 ft.) (reference value measured using a typical device)) |
The illustrations shown are examples only.
