Controls
Contains a number that you will need if you
purchase a replacement key.
Low Keyless Access Remo te Signal Strength
The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the keyless access remote when locking/
unlocking the doors, opening the trunk, or to activate the power system.
In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors, opening the trunk, or activating
the power system may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:
•Strong radio waves are being tra nsmitted by nearby equipment.
• You are carrying the keyless access remote together with telecommunications
equipment, laptop computers, ce ll phones, or wireless devices.
• A metallic object is touching or co vering the keyless access remote.
■Key Number Tag1Key Number Tag
Keep the key number tag separate from the key in a
safe place outside of your vehicle.
If you wish to purchase an additional key, contact a
dealer.
If you lose your key and you cannot activate the
power system, contact a dealer.
1 Low Keyless Access Remote Signal Strength
Communication between the keyless access remote
and the vehicle consumes the keyless access remote’s
battery.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies
depending on re gularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the keyless access
remote is receivi ng strong radio wave s. Avoid placing
it near electrical appliances such as televisions and
personal computers.

Security System
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from
starting the power system. Each key cont ains electronic transmitters that use
electronic signals to verify the key.
Pay attention to the follo wing when pressing the POWER button:
• Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the POWER button.
• Make sure the key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
• Do not bring a key from another vehi cle’s immobilizer system near the POWER
button.
• Do not put the key near magnetic items. Electronic devices, such as televisions
and audio systems emit strong magnetic fields. Note that even a key chain can
become magnetic.

opened. The alarm does not activate if th e trunk or doors are opened with the key,
remote transmitter or keyless access system.

opened before the power mode is set to ON.

■To deactivate the security system alarm
Unlock the vehicle using the key, remote transmitter or ke yless access system, or the
power mode is set to ON. The system, along with the horn and flashing lights, is
