  1. PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL KEY


    1. The key is a precision instrument. Be sure to observe the following:


      1. Do not subject the key to strong physical shocks.

      2. Do not keep the key in a high temperature area for a long time.

      3. Do not use an ultrasonic washing machine to clean the key.

      4. Do not use the key with any magnetic items with key holders.

      5. Do not place the key near magnetic equipment, such as digital audio players, induction cookers, medical devices that generate low-frequency electromagnetic waves, etc.

      6. Do not attach any stickers to the key.

  2. PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSPECTING PUSH-BUTTON START SYSTEM


    1. General precautions for the push-button start system:


      1. Always carry the electrical key.

    2. Under the following conditions, the key detection area may be reduced or the system may be unable to detect the electrical key properly. This is due to the weak electromagnetic waves used for key detection.


      1. The electrical key battery is depleted.

      2. There are TV towers, electric power plants, broadcasting stations, gas stations or other facilities that generate strong electric waves nearby.

      3. Wireless communication devices, such as walkie-talkies, cell phones, cordless telephones, digital audio players, portable game systems, etc., are carried together with the key.

      4. The key is covered by or in contact with objects made of metal, such as coins, certain types of cards, etc.

      5. Film with some metallic content is applied to the rear window glass.

      6. Electric wave-type keyless entry systems are being operated nearby.

      7. An electrical key from another vehicle is nearby.

      8. The key is placed near equipment that generates high-voltage or electrical noise.

    3. As weak electric waves are emitted from the key, if a pacemaker is being used, be sure to read the pacemaker instruction manual.

    4. The push-button start system will not operate under the following conditions.


      1. The procedures to cancel the push-button start system are performed.

      2. There is no electrical key battery (the LED of the key does not blink when a key switch is pressed).
