PRE-DRIVING OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
When using the passive entry and start
system to lock/unlock the doors or to start
the engine, radio waves will be transmitted
from the vehicle's antenna in order to
perform electronic verification.
Because of that, the passive entry and
start system may not operate properly or
consistently due to the following causes:
• When there is a facility nearby that is
emitting strong radio waves.
• When communication devices such
as mobile phones, two-way radios, or
laptops are within the vicinity of the
electronic key.
• When other metallic objects are
touching or covering the electronic
key.

WARNING
• Individuals with implanted cardiac pacemakers or implanted defibrillators should
keep a distance of at least 22 cm (8.7 in) from any antennas installed to the
vehicle. Radio waves emitted from passive entry and start system may affect
the operation of such devices. Individuals using electronic medical devices
should consult with the manufacturer of the device or with their doctor before
use.
