In vehicles equipped with the smart key system, the starting function may not operate after recharging or while jump-starting a discharged battery. This condition is most common if the battery voltage drops below 9 V. The following procedure has been developed to address this condition.

  HINT:
  
  If the DCC fuse is not installed, install it at this time.

  HINT:
  
  Opening the driver's door will start an initialization process between the steering lock ECU and the engine room junction block.
