NOTE
•
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
“ACC” or “ON” position or the engine is started
by the above procedures, the Intelligent Key
system warning light may blink in yellow (on

the vehicle. This is not a malfunction. To stop
the warning light from blinking, touch the ig-
nition switch with the Intelligent Key again.

If the Intelligent Key system warning light in
the meter is blinking in green, replace the bat-
tery as soon as possible. (See “Battery

gine models) before cranking again, oth-
erwise the starter could be damaged.
