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
may become 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 smart key sys-
