NOTICE
ECA15763
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
or covered by a metallic object

Other vehicles equipped with a
smart key system are nearby
In such situations, move the smart
key to another location and perform
the operation again. If it still does
not work, use the mechanical key to
carry out the operation in emergen-
cy mode (See page 7-38).
EAU61582
Operating range of the smart
key systemThe operating range of the smart key
system is about 80 cm (31.5 in) from
the center of the handlebars.TIP

12 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 be-
come very small.

If the smart key is turned off, the
vehicle will not recognize the smart
key even if it is within operating
range.

If the “ON/ ” switch, “OFF/LOCK”
switch, or “SEAT OPEN/ ”
switch are repeatedly pressed
when the smart key is out of range
or cannot communicate with the
vehicle, all switches will be tempo-
rarily disabled.

Placing the smart key in the front
or rear storage compartment may
block communication between the
smart key and the vehicle. If the
rear trunk is locked with the smart
key inside, the smart key system
may be disabled. The smart key
should always be carried on your
person.

When leaving the vehicle, make
sure you apply the steering lock
and take the smart key with you. It is recommended that you turn the
smart key off.

Handling of the
smart key and
mechanical key
WARNING
EWA17952

The smart key should be carried
with you. Do not store it on the
vehicle.

When the smart key is within op-
erating range, exercise due care
because other people not carry-
ing the smart key can start theengine and operate the vehicle.
Included with the vehicle is one smart
key (with a built-in mechanical key) and
one spare mechanical key with an iden-
tification tag. Keep the spare mechani-
cal key and tag separate from the smart
key. Should you lose or damage the
smart key, or when its battery is dis-
charged, the mechanical key will serve
as a back up. The seat can be opened,
the smart key system identification
number can be manually input, and
then the vehicle can be operated. (See
page 7-38.) We recommend that you
note down the identification number
in case of emergency.
