TIPAs the smart key system uses
weak radio waves, the operating
range may be affected by the sur-
rounding environment.
 When the battery of the smart key
is discharged, the smart key may
not work or its operating range be-
come very small.
 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 “ON/ ” switch,
“OFF/LOCK” switch, or “ / ”
switch are repeatedly pressed
when the smart key is out of range
or cannot communicate with the
vehicle, all switches will be tempo-
rarily disabled.
 Placing the smart key in the front
or rear storage compartment may
block communication between
the smart key and the vehicle. If
the rear trunk or front storage
compartment is locked with the
smart key inside, the smart key system may be disabled. The
smart key should always carried
on your person.
