turer for more information. The radio
waves from the transmitting anten-
nas on the vehicle could adversely
affect the operation of the electric
medical equipment.
NOTEThe status of the access key fob and
environmental conditions may interfere
with the communication between the
access key fob and the vehicle under
the following conditions.
.When you operate near a source of
strong radio waves or other interfer-
ence, such as a broadcast station or
power transmission lines
.When products that transmit radio
waves are used, such as an access key
fob or a remote transmitter key fob of
another vehicle.When you carry the access key fob
of your vehicle together with an access
