control and immobilizer system use weak radio waves. In the following sit-
uations, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may
be affected, preventing the smart entry & start system, push-button start sys-
tem, wireless remote control and immobilizer system from operating prop-
erly.
(Ways of coping: P. 630)
