sible when the vehicle battery is completely
discharged. Pay special attention that the ve-
hicle battery is not completely discharged.

When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged
or strong radio waves are present near the
operating location, the Intelligent Key system’s
operating range becomes narrower, and the
Intelligent Key may not function properly.
The operating range is within 31.50 in (80 cm)
from each request switch

glass, handle or rear bumper the request
switches may not function.

range, it is possible for anyone who does not
carry the Intelligent Key to push the request
switch to lock/unlock the doors and open the
trunk lid.
DOOR LOCKS/UNLOCKS PRECAUTION ● Do not push the door handle request switch
with the Intelligent Key held in your hand as
illustrated. The close distance to the door
handle will cause the Intelligent Key system
to have difficulty recognizing that the Intel-
ligent Key is outside the vehicle.
● After locking with the door handle request
switch, verify the doors are securely locked
by testing them.
● To prevent the Intelligent Key from being left
inside the vehicle or the trunk, make sure

doors or the trunk. ● Do not pull the door handle before pushing
the door handle request switch. The door
will be unlocked but will not open. Release
