CAUTION
• Continuing vehicle operation without proper
servicing of the engine control system could
lead to poor driveability, reduced fuel economy, and damage to the engine control
system, which may affect the vehicle’s war-
ranty coverage.

and may need servicing. Have the system checked,
and if necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop promptly.
Precautions:
To reduce or avoid possible damage to the engine
control system when the MIL blinks: • Avoid driving at speeds above 70 km/h (43

REMOTE CONTROL KEY SYSTEM
(where fitted)
Pre-driving checks and adjustments 3-7

REMOTE CONTROL KEY
OPERATING RANGE
The Remote Control Key functions can only be used
when the Remote Control Key is within the speci-
fied operating range from the request switch ➀.
When the Remote Control Key battery is discharged
or strong radio waves are present near the operat-
ing location, the Remote Control Key system’s op-
erating range becomes narrower, and the Remote
Control Key may not function properly.
The operating range is within 80 cm (31.50 in) from
each request switch ➀.
If the Remote Control Key is too close to the door
glass or door handle, the request switches may not
function.
When the Remote Control Key is within the operat-
ing range, it is possible for anyone, even someone
who does not carry the Remote Control Key, to
push the request switch to lock/unlock the doors. USING REMOTE CONTROL KEY

set to remain inactive. (See “[Vehicle Settings]” in
the “2. Instruments and controls” section.) •
Do not push the door handle request switch with
the Remote Control Key held in your hand as
illustrated. The close distance to the door handle
will cause the Remote Control Key system to
have difficulty recognising that the Remote Con-
trol Key is outside the vehicle.

request switch, make sure that the doors have
been securely locked by operating the door
handles.
• When locking the doors using the door handle
request switch, make sure to have the Remote
