following occur:
• The smart key is close to a radio
transmitter such as radio station or
airport that may interfere with normal
operation of the transmitter.

radio system or a mobile phone.
• Another vehicle's smart key is being
operated close to your vehicle.
• The smart key is near any normal
electronic devices or credit cards.
• The vehicle battery is discharged.
