to activate the system. The key fob also contains
an integrated mechanical key, which can be
accessed by pushing the mechanical key release
button.
NOTE:The key fob may not be able to be detected by the
vehicle if it is located next to a mobile phone,
laptop or other electronic device; these devices
may block the key fob’s wireless signal
