lowing situations, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle
may be affected, preventing the smart access system with push-button start from
operating properly:
(Ways of coping: →P. 4 1 7 )
lWhen the electronic key battery is depleted
lNear a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display,
airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise

nBattery-saving function
In the following circumstances, the entry function is disabled in order to prevent the
vehicle and electronic key batteries from discharging.
lWhen the entry function has not been used for a month or more
lWhen the electronic key has been left within approximately 3 ft. (1 m) of the
vehicle for 10 minutes or more
The system will resume operation when
lThe vehicle is locked using the door handle lock switch.
lThe vehicle is locked/unlocked using the wireless remote control function.
(→P. 36 )
lThe vehicle is locked/unlocked using the mechanical key. (→P. 41 7 )
nElectronic key battery depletion
lThe standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The card key battery life is about a year
and a half.)
lThe battery becomes depleted even if the electronic key is not used because
the key always transmits radio waves. If the smart access system with push-but-
ton start or the wireless remote control does not operate, or the detection area
becomes smaller, the battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when nec-
essary.
(→ P. 345)
