becomes smaller, the battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when
necessary. ( →P. 322)

Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get
the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from
the outside of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.
(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not func-
tion.)

near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or
unlocked.
