warning tone sounds and the above message appears.
 An electronic key is not detected in the vehicle when you
push the engine switch. In this case, the above message
appears for 8 seconds.
 An electronic key is not detected in the vehicle because
someone has taken an electronic key outside of the vehicle
without turning the engine switch off. At this time, the
electronic key sounds an alarm. The above message turns
off if you turn the engine switch off or the entry function
detects an electronic key in the vehicle.
In addition to either of the above conditions, if you get out from

when the engine switch is selected in “IGON” mode and
the selector lever is in a position other than “P”, the
master warning light flashes, a beep sounds inside the
vehicle and the above message appears. When you shift
the selector lever to the “P” position or start driving, the
beeping stops sounding, the above message turns off.
In addition to the above condition, if the entry function does not
detect an electronic key in the vehicle, “SHIFT TO P RANGE”
and “KEY IS NOT DETECTED” appear alternately.

If the entry function determines that the battery voltage is
low (2V to 3V) when the engine switch is turned off more
than 20 minutes after turned on, the master warning light
flashes, a warning tone sounds and the above message
appears.
If the above message appears, the battery needs to be
replaced. Although you can replace the battery referring to
