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

locked with the smart key inside,
the smart key system may be dis-
abled. The smart key should al-
ways be carried with you.
