When riding in an aircraft

When bringing an electronic key

onto an aircraft, make sure you do

not press any buttons on the elec-

tronic key while inside the aircraft

cabin. If you are carrying an elec-

tronic key in your bag, etc., ensure

that the buttons are not likely to be

pressed accidentally. Pressing a

button may cause the electronic key

to emit radio waves that could inter-

fere with the operation of the air-

craft.

■

Electronic key battery depletion

●

The standard battery life is 1 to 2

years.

●

If the battery becomes low, an

alarm will sound in the cabin 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.135)

●

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.

• The smart key system or the wire-

less remote control does not oper-

ate.

• The detection area becomes

smaller.

• The LED indicator on the key sur-

face does not turn on.

●

To avoid serious deterioration, do

not leave the electronic key within

3 ft. (1 m) of the following electri-

cal appliances that produce a

magnetic field:

• TVs

• Personal computers

• Cellular phones, cordless phones

and battery chargers

• Recharging cellular phones or

cordless phones

• Table lamps

• Induction cookers

closed. If the back door is not fully

closed, it may open unexpectedly

while driving, causing an acci-

dent.

■

Caution while driving

●

Keep the back door closed

hit near-by objects while driving or

luggage may be unexpectedly

thrown out, causing an accident.
In addition, exhaust gases may

enter the vehicle, causing death

or a serious health hazard. Make

sure to close the back door before

driving.

●

Never let anyone sit in the lug-

gage compartment. In the event

of sudden braking, sudden

swerving or a collision, they are

susceptible to death or serious

injury.

Operating the back door

Observe the following precau-

tions. Failure to do so may cause

parts of the body to be caught,

resulting in death or serious injury.

Use caution when opening or

closing the back door in windy

weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

Vehicles without a power back

door: The back door may sud-

denly shut if it is not opened

incline than on a level surface,

so beware of the back door

unexpectedly opening or closing

by itself. Make sure that the

back door is fully open and

secure before using the luggage

compartment.

●

Vehicles with a power back

door: The back door may sud-
