Operating Range
The Honda SMART Key system uses low-
intensity radio waves. Therefore, the
operating range may be wider or narrower,
or the Honda SMART Key system may not
work properly in the following situations:
• When the Honda SMART Key battery is
low or depleted.
• When there are facilities nearby that
generate strong radio waves or noise,
such as TV towers, power stations, radio
stations, or airports.
• When you carry the Honda SMART Key
with a laptop or wireless communication
device such as a radio or mobile phone.
• When the Honda SMART Key comes into
contact with or is covered by metal
objects.
The system can be operated when the
Honda SMART Key is within the shaded
area shown in the illustration.
Anyone can operate the ignition switch and
start the engine if your Honda SMART Key
is within operating range of your vehicle,
even if you are on the other side of a wall
or window. If you will be away from your
vehicle but your Honda SMART Key will still
be within the system’s operating range,
deactivate the Honda SMART Key system.
