same key chain may cause vehicle
starting problems if they are too close
to the key when starting your vehicle.
Prevent these objects from touching
the coded key while starting your
vehicle. Switch the ignition off, move
all objects on the key chain away from
the coded key and restart your vehicle
if a problem occurs.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded
key in your vehicle. Always take your
keys and lock all doors when leaving
your vehicle.
