3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

AVALON (U)_(01999-07007)

■ Note for locking the doors

● Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent

lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.

● If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effec-

tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the

following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:

• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from the

vehicle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)

• Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart key

system. (P. 113)

● If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet

during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information dis-

play and a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock

all the doors.

● The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice,

snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again, or

use the lock sensor on the lower part of the door handle.

● Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door han-

dle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the door.

■ Note for the unlocking function

● A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the

doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the origi-

nal position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle

again.

● Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
