USING A MECHANICAL KEY

When you use the mechanical key in-
cluded on the side of the key, slide the
lock knob in the arrow direction and take
out the key as shown. To put the key
back, slide the lock knob in the arrow
direction and replace the key. Be sure to
put the key back when not in use.
Since the doors can be locked without a
key, you should always carry a spare
master key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.
CAUTION
"
People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators should keep
away from the smart entry and start
system antennas, because the radio
waves may affect the operation of
such devices. For the antenna loca-
tions, see "ANTENNA LOCATIONS"
on page 26.
"
Users of any electrical medical de-
vice other than implanted pacemak-
ers and implanted cardiac defibrilla-
tors should consult the manufactur-
er of the device for information
about its operation under the influ-
ence of radio waves. Radio waves
could have unexpected effects on
the operation of such medical de-
vices.
"
If necessary, the smart function can
be disabled. See "DEACTIVATING
THE SMART FUNCTION" on page
