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 ra-
dio.
•
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 approxi-
mately 2 years. If the battery is discharged, replace
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
3-8
Pre-driving checks and adjustments
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,
unlocking 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.

unauthorised use of the Remote Control Key to op-
erate the vehicle. For information regarding the eras-
ing procedure, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
