ELECTRONIC KEY NOT
DETECTED
If the vehicle has the keyless
access system, this message
displays if the vehicle does not
detect the presence of a transmitter
when you have attempted to start
the vehicle or a vehicle door has
just closed. The following conditions
may cause this message to appear:
Driver-added equipment plugged
into the accessory power outlet
on the centre console is causing
interference. Examples of these
devices are cell phones and cell
phone chargers, two-way radios,
power inverters or similar items.
Try moving the keyless access
transmitter away from these
devices when starting the
vehicle. In addition, PDA devices
and remote garage and gate
openers may also generate
Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI) that may interfere with the
keyless access transmitter. Do
not carry the Keyless access
transmitter in the same pocket or
bag as these devices.
The vehicle is experiencing
Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI). Some locations, such as
airports, automatic toll booths
and some petrol stations have
EMI fields which may interfere
with the keyless access
transmitter.
If moving the transmitter to
different locations within the
vehicle does not help, place the
transmitter in the centre console
