3Included with the vehicle is one smart
key, two mechanical keys, and one
identification number card. The identi-
fication number can also be found on
the inside of the smart key itself.
If the vehicle battery is discharged, the
mechanical key can be used to open
the seat. Carry one mechanical key
in a
ddition to the smart key.
If the smart key is lost or the smart key
battery has discharged, the identifica-
tion number can be used to operate
the vehicle in emergency mode. (See
page 7-38.) Write down the i dentifi-
cation num ber in case of emer gen-
cy.
If the smart key is lost and the smart
key system identification number is un-
known, the entire smart key system will
need to be replaced at considerable
cost. Keep the i dentification num ber
car d in a safe place.
