If the smart key does not work cor-
rectly, you may lock and unlock the
door with the mechanical key. If
you have a problem with the smart

pocket and maintain adequate dis-
tance between the two devices.
Do not leave the smart key near metallic objects such as golf bags,
metal cases and so on.
Door Lock/Unlock failure or poor starting can occur when the smart
key is placed near metallic objects. Always carry your smart key when
you leave the car. An unattended
smart key close to the vehicle can
cause the vehicle battery to be dis-
charged.

with moisture (beverage, water
etc.) or heat. In this case, warranty
repair is not available. Damage to

When the smart key is left with a bunch of keys, the Lock/Unlock
button for doors and liftgate can be
accidently pressed. Pay careful
attention to key use.Remote keyless entry system
