operate the vehicle without using a
mechanical key. In addition, there is an
answer-back function to help you lo-
cate the vehicle in a parking lot. (See
page 3-5.)
WARNING
EWA14704
Keep implanted pacemakers or
cardiac defibrillators, as well as
other electric medical devices
away from the vehicle mounted
antenna (see illustration).
Radio waves transmitted by the
antenna may affect the opera-
tion of such devices when close
by.
If you have an electric medical
device, consult a doctor or the
device manufacturer before us-
ing this vehicle.
NOTICE
ECA24080
The smart key system uses weak ra-
dio waves. The smart key system
may not work in the following situa-
tions.
The smart key is placed in a lo-
cation exposed to strong radio
waves or other electromagnetic
noise
There are facilities nearby that

munication equipment such as
radios or mobile phones in
close proximity of the smart key
The smart key is in contact with
or covered by a metallic object
Other vehicles equipped with a
smart key system are nearby
In such situations, move the smart
key to another location and perform
the operation again. If it still does
not work, operate the vehicle in
emergency mode. (See page 9-38.)

the smart key system is shown below.
If the smart key is turned off, the vehi-
cle will not recognize the smart key
even if it is within operating range. If the
smart key battery is discharged, thesmart key system may not work or its
operating range may become very
short.
TIPDo not place the smart key in a
storage compartment.
Always carry the smart key with
you.
Turn the smart key off when leav-
ing the vehicle.

tem identification number are both lost
or damaged, the entire smart key sys-
tem will need to be replaced. To pre-
vent this, it is recommended that youwrite down the identification num-
ber in case the identification number
