way radio system or a cellular
phone.

operated close to your vehicle.
• If the smart key is in close proximi-
ty to your mobile phone, the signal
could be blocked by your mobile
phone's normal operational sig-
nals.
This is specifically relevant when
the phone is active such as making
and receiving calls, text messag-
ing, and/or sending/receiving
emails. When possible, avoid keep-
ing the remote key and your mobile
