WARNING
•
Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible in-
fluences before use.
•
The Remote Control Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pushed. The ra-
dio waves may affect aircraft navigation and
communication systems. Do not operate the
Remote Control Key while on an aeroplane.
Make sure the buttons are not operated unin-
tentionally when the unit is stored during a
flight.
The Remote Control Key system can operate all
doors using the integrated key fob function or push-
ing the request switch on the vehicle without tak-
ing the key out from a pocket or purse. The operat-
ing environment and/or conditions may affect the
Remote Control Key system operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the Re-
mote Control Key system.
CAUTION
•
Be sure to carry the Remote Control Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
•
Never leave the Remote Control Key in the ve-
hicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Remote Control Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Re-
mote Control Key system transmits weak radio
waves. Environmental conditions may interfere with
the operation of the Remote Control 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 equipment, such
as a mobile telephone, transceiver, and CB radio.
•
When the Remote Control Key is in contact with
or covered by metallic materials.
•
When any type of radio wave remote control is
used nearby.
•
When the Remote Control Key is placed near an
electric appliance such as a personal computer.
In such cases, correct the operating conditions be-
fore using the Remote Control Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depending on
the operating conditions, the battery’s life is ap-
proximately 2 years. If the battery is discharged, re-
place it with a new one.
For information regarding replacement of a battery,
see “Remote Control Key battery replacement” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
Since the Remote Control Key is continuously re-
ceiving 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.
Because the steering wheel is locked electrically, un-
locking the steering wheel with the ignition switch
in the LOCK position is impossible when the vehicle
battery is completely discharged. Pay special atten-
tion that the vehicle battery is not completely dis-
charged.
As many as 4 Remote Control Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. For information
about the purchase and use of additional Remote
Control Keys, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
CAUTION
•
Do not allow the Remote Control Key, which
contains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could af-
fect the system function.
•
Do not drop the Remote Control Key.
•
Do not strike the Remote Control Key sharply
against another object.
•
Do not change or modify the Remote Control
Key.
•
Wetting may damage the Remote Control Key.
If the Remote Control Key gets wet, immedi-
ately wipe until it is completely dry.
•
If the outside temperature is below −10°C
(14°F), the battery of the Remote Control Key
may not function properly.
•
Do not place the Remote Control Key for an
extended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 60°C (140°F).
•
Do not attach the Remote Control Key to a key
holder that contains a magnet.
