●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will so und in the cabin when the hybrid system is
stopped. ( P. 606)
●As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become depleted
even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indicate that the elec-
tronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 549)
• The smart entry & start system or the wi reless remote control does not operate.
