Operation of each component
■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the electronic key bat-
tery and the vehicle battery from being discharged while the vehicle is not in operation
for a long time.
●In the following situations, the smart acce ss system with push-button start may take
some time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been le ft in an area of approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the outside
