Precaution [10/2018 - 08/2021]

  1. CAUTION REGARDING INTERFERENCE WITH ELECTRONIC DEVICES 
    WARNING:

    As weak radio waves are emitted from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, if a pacemaker is being used, be sure to read the pacemaker instruction manual and the following.

    • People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should keep away from the smart access system with push-button start antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary, the entry function can be disabled. Ask your dealer for details, such as the frequency of radio waves and timing of the emitted radio waves. Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable the start function.

      Refer to CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS [10/2018 - 07/2022] 

    • Users of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device for information about its operation under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
    • Ask your dealer for details for disabling the smart access system with push-button start.

  2. PRECAUTION WHEN USING TECHSTREAM 
    1. When the engine switch is turned off, the DTCs stored in the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) will be cleared. Be sure to record any output DTCs immediately.
    2. When using the Techstream with the engine switch off, connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the Techstream and the vehicle begins. Then select the vehicle type under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Access. While using the Techstream, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the Techstream and the vehicle.
  3. PRECAUTION FOR REGISTRATION 
    1. If replacing any of the following parts, refer to registration procedure.

      Refer to REGISTRATION [10/2018 - 10/2019] , or refer to REGISTRATION [10/2019 - 07/2022]

  4. PRECAUTIONS FOR STEERING LOCK / UNLOCK FUNCTION 
    1. After turning the engine switch off and opening and closing any of the doors, the steering wheel will be locked due to the steering lock function. Operating the engine switch again automatically cancels the steering lock function.
    2. To prevent the steering lock motor from overheating, the motor operation may be suspended if the steering is locked and unlocked repeatedly in a short period of time. In this case, refrain from operating the engine switch. After about 10 seconds, the steering lock motor will resume functioning.
