equipment, laptop computers, ce ll phones, or wireless devices.
• A metallic object is touching or covering the keyless access remote.

Keep the key number tag separate from the key in a
safe place outside of your vehicle.
If you wish to purchase an additional key, contact a
dealer.
If you lose your key and you cannot start the engine,
contact a dealer.
