■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any but-
tons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying an electronic
key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally.
Pressing a button may cause the electronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere
with the operation of the aircraft.

●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the hybrid system
stops. ( →P. 439)

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. 382)
• The smart access system with push-button start or the wireless remote control does
not operate.
