Intelligent Key button operation
light
The light blinks only when you push any
button on the Intelligent Key. The light illu-
mination only signifies that the key fob has
transmitted a signal. You may look and/or
listen to verif y that the vehicle has per-
formed the intended operation. The num-
ber of blinks identifies each registered key
(i.e. 1 blink = 1st key,...,4 blinks = 4th key) for
your own identification purposes. If the
light does not blink, your battery may be
too weak to communicate to the vehicle. If
this occurs, the battery may need to be
replaced. For additional information re- garding the replacement of a battery, refer
to “Battery replacement” in the “Do-it-
yourself ” section of this manual.
WARNING SIGNALS
To help prevent the vehicle from moving
unexpectedly by erroneous operation of
the Intelligent Key or to help prevent the
vehicle from being stolen, a chime or
buzzer sounds from inside and outside the
vehicle and a warning is displayed in the
instrument panel.
When a chime or beep sounds or a warning
is displayed, be sure to check the vehicle
and the Intelligent Key.
For additional information, refer to the
“Troubleshooting guide” in this section and
“Vehicle information display” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.
