system: In some cases, it may not be
possible to unlock the doors using the smart entry & star t system when the
battery is discharged. Use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
●Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: The engine may not start on
the first attempt after the battery has
recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a mal-
function.
●Vehicles with a smart entry & start
system: The engine switch mode is
memorized by the vehicle. When the
battery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the
battery was discharged. Before dis-
connecting the battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
engine switch was in before the bat- tery discharged, be especially careful
when reconnecting the battery.
