BATTERY POWER SAVING

When doors are locked, the smart entry
and start system transmits electromagnetic
waves to the outside of the vehicle at
regular intervals. For this reason, the ve-
hicle battery will be discharged if the ve-
hicle is left for a long time. If the key is
left within the effective range of the smart
function outside of the vehicle, the key
and the vehicle transmit electromagnetic
waves periodically. If these conditions con-
tinue for a long time, the battery in the
key and vehicle will be discharged.
To prevent the batteries from being dis-
charged, the smart function is automatical-
ly deactivated in the following conditions:
"
If there is no response from the key
for more than 14 days
"
If the key is left within the effective
range of the smart function outside of
the vehicle for more than 10 minutes
To reactivate the smart function, perform
any of the following:
(a) Press the lock button on the outside
front door handle or back door while
carrying the smart key.
(b) Perform a wireless remote control op-
eration.
(c) Insert and turn the mechanical key in
the keyhole of the driver's door.
