engine is stopped.
●To reduce key battery depletion
when the electronic key is to not
be used for long periods of time,
set the electronic key to the bat-
tery-saving mode. ( P.127)
●As the electronic key always
receives radio waves, the battery
will become deplet ed even if the
electronic key is not used. The fol-
lowing symptoms indicate that the
electronic key battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. ( P.489)
• The smart key system or the wire- less remote control does not oper-
ate.

The system detects malfunctioning
parts targeted (all of the solenoids
that perform the shifting function) by
the On-Board Diagnostics, and per-
