ing a wireless LAN device:
• Communication speed and range vary de-
pending on the wireless LAN devices and the surrounding conditions (radio environ-
ment, obstacles, parking area environ- ment, etc.).NOTE• Due to the characteristics of radio waves,
communication speed tends to decrease as the communication distance increases.
Use your wireless LAN device at a short
distance from the vehicle for better re-
sponse.
• When a microwave oven or ISM (indus-
trial, scientific and medical) equipment is being used, the communication speed and
range of wireless LAN devices may de- crease. Use your wireless LAN device
away from these appliances and equip-
ment.
• If a wireless LAN device and Bluetooth
(registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc.) are used simultaneously, the com-
munication speed and range of each de- vice may decrease. Use your wireless
LAN device away from Bluetooth devi- ces.
l Wireless LAN devices may not communi-
cate with the vehicle, or may not operate
normally or stably in the following environ- ment or situations. Check that the device cancommunicate with your vehicle before use.
• There is an obstruction such as a concrete
or metal wall between the vehicle and
wireless LAN device.
• The vehicle is surrounded by tall vehicles
in a parking lot.
• There are facilities nearby that emit strong
radio waves, such as a TV tower, trans-
former substation, broadcasting station or airport.NOTE• There is a communication device such as
a mobile phone or radio, or an electric de- vice such as a personal computer near thewireless LAN device.

Keyless operation system
E00305601738
The keyless operation system allows you tolock and unlock the doors and tailgate andstart the engine simply by carrying the key-less operation key with you.
The keyless operation key can also be used as
the keyless entry system remote control
switch.
Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 4-03.

The driver should always carry the keyless
operation key. This key is necessary for lock-
ing and unlocking the doors and tailgate,
starting the engine and otherwise operating the vehicle, so before locking and leaving the vehicle, be sure to check that you have the
keyless operation key.WARNINGl People with implantable cardiac pace-
makers or implantable cardiovascular-de-
fibrillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmit- ters (B). The radio waves used by the key-
less operation system could adversely af- fect implantable cardiac pacemakers orimplantable cardiovascular-defibrillators.
