Smart key system
The smart key system enables you to
operate the vehicle without using a
mechanical key. In addition, there is an
answer-back function to help you lo-
cate the vehicle in a parking lot. (See
page 3-5.)
WARNING
EWA14704
Keep implanted pacemakers or
cardiac defibrillators, as well as
other electric medical devices
away from the vehicle mounted
antenna (see illustration).
Radio waves transmitted by the
antenna may affect the opera-
tion of such devices when close
by.If you have an electric medical
device, consult a doctor or the
device manufacturer before us-
ing this vehicle.
NOTICE
ECA24080
The smart key system uses weak ra-
dio waves. The smart key system
may not work in the following situa-
tions.
The smart key is placed in a lo-
cation exposed to strong radio
waves or other electromagnetic
noise
There are facilities nearby that
are emitting strong radio waves
(TV or radio towers, power
plants, broadcasting stations,
airports, etc.)
You are carrying or using com-
munication equipment such as
radios or mobile phones in
close proximity of the smart key
The smart key is in contact with

weak radio waves, the operating
range may be affected by the sur-
rounding environment.
When the battery of the smart key
is discharged, the smart key may
not work or its operating range
may become very small.
If the smart key is turned off, the
vehicle will not recognize the
