Operating ran ge of the smart
key system
The operating range of the smart key
system is about 80 cm (31.5 in) from
the main switch.
TIP
z As the smart key system uses
weak radio waves, the operating
range may be affected by the sur-
rounding environment.
z When the battery of the smart key
is discharged, the smart key may
not work or its operating range
may become very small.
z If the smart key is turned off, the
vehicle will not recognize the
smart key even if it is within oper-
ating range. If the smart key sys-
tem does not operate, see page
3-5 and confirm that the smart key
is turned on.
