The Intelligent Key is always communi-

cating with the vehicle as it receives radio

waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-

mits weak radio waves. Environmental

conditions may interfere with the opera-

tion of the Intelligent Key system under

the following operating conditions.

.

When operating near a location where

strong radio waves are transmitted,

such as a TV tower, power station and

broadcasting station.

.

When in possession of wireless equip-

ment, such as a cellular phone, trans-

ceiver, and CB radio.

The Intelligent Key system can operate all

the door locks using the remote control-

ler function or pushing the request switch

on the vehicle without taking the key out

from a pocket or purse. The operating

environment and/or conditions may af-

fect the Intelligent Key system operation.

The horn operation can also be turned on

or off in the vehicle information display.

Do not drop the Intelligent Key.

In such cases, correct the operating

conditions before using the Intelligent

Key function or use the mechanical key.

Although the life of the battery varies

depending on the operating conditions,

the battery’s life is approximately 2 years.

If the battery is discharged, replace it with

a new one.

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously

receiving radio waves, if the key is left

near equipment which transmits strong

radio waves, such as signals from a TV

and personal computer, the battery life

may become shorter.

For information regarding replacement of

a battery, see “Intelligent Key battery
