Electronic key battery depletion
The standard battery life is 1 to 2
years. (The card key battery life is
about a year and a half.)
If the battery becomes low, an
alarm will sound in the cabin and a
message will be shown on the
multi-information display when the
engine is stopped.
To reduce key battery depletion
when the electronic key is to not
be used for long periods of time,
set the electronic key to the bat-
tery-saving mode. (P.149)
As the electronic key always
receives radio waves, the battery
will become depleted even if the
electronic key is not used. The fol-
lowing symptoms indicate that the
electronic key battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary.
