INFORMATION
Be sure to take the smart key with
you.
In the following cases, the smart
function or wireless remote control
feature may not operate properly. (If
this happens, use a mechanical key
to lock or unlock the driver’s door
and a smart key to start the hybrid
system.)
When facilities issuing strong
electromagnetic waves such as
TV towers, electric power sta-
tions, broadcasting stations are
nearby.
When you are carrying a smart
key together with a mobile com-
munications system such as a
two- way radio or cellular phone.
When the smart key is in contact
with or covered by a metallic ob-
ject.
When another person is operating
a wireless remote control func-
tion on another vehicle near your
vehicle.
If you do not drive your vehicle,
store the smart key, keeping it at
least 5 m (16 ft.) away from the ve-
hicle.
CAUTION
People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators should keep
away from the smart entry and start
system antennas, because the radio
waves may affect the operation of
such devices. For the antenna loca-
tions, see “ANTENNA LOCATIONS”
on page 26.
Users of any electrical medical de-
vice other than implanted pacemak-
ers and implanted cardiac defibrilla-
tors should consult the manufactur-
er of the device for information
about its operation under the influ-
ence of radio waves. Radio waves
could have unexpected effects on
the operation of such medical de-
vices.
If necessary, the smart function can
be disabled. See “DEACTIVATING
THE SMART FUNCTION” on page
