Smart key systemThe smart key system enables you to
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 implante d pacemakers or
car diac defi brillators, as well as
other electric med ical devices
away from the vehicle mounte d
antenna (see illustration).
 Radio waves transmitte d b y the
antenna may affect the opera-
tion of such devices when close
b y.
 If you have an electric me dical
d evice, consult a d octor or the
d evice manufacturer before us-
in g this vehicle.
NOTICE
ECA24080
The smart key system uses weak ra-
dio waves. The smart key system
may not work in the followin g situa-
tions.  The smart key is placed in a lo-
cation exposed to strong ra dio
waves or other electroma gnetic
noise
 There are facilities near by that
are emittin g stron g ra dio waves
(TV or ra dio towers, power
plants, broa dcastin g stations,
airports, etc.)

You are carryin g or usin g com-
munication equipment such as
ra dios or mo bile phones in
close proximity of the smart key
 The smart key is in contact with
or covere d b y a metallic o bject
 Other vehicles equippe d with a
smart key system are near by
In such situations, move the smart
key to another location an d perform
the operation ag ain. If it still does
not work, operate the vehicle in
emer gency mo de. (See pag e 7-37.)
TIPTo preserve vehicle battery power, the
smart key system turns off approxi-
mately 9 days after the vehicle was last
used (the answer-back function is dis-
abled). In this situation, simply push
the main switch knob to turn the smart
key system back on.
EAUM3960
Operating ran ge of the smart
key systemThe operating range of the smart key
system is about 80 cm (31.5 in) from
the antenna.
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-
tem does not operate, see page
3-5 and confirm that the smart key
is turned on.
 Placing the smart key in the front
or rear storage compartment may
block communication between
the smart key and the vehicle. If
the rear storage compartment is
locked with the smart key inside,
the smart key system may be dis-
abled. The smart key should al-
ways be carried with you.
