planted defibrillators.
If you wear electric medical equip-
ment other than an implanted pace-
maker or an implanted defibrillator,
before using the keyless access
with push-button start system, refer
to“Radio waves used for the key-
less access with push-button start

radio wave conditions around the vehicle
(e.g., access key battery discharge) (in
this case, perform the procedure de-
scribed in“Locking and unlocking”F9-
17).
Precautions:
.When the access key is within the
operating range, it is possible for anyone,
even someone who is not carrying the
