4. Operating precautions
Usage Environment
• The remote control signal may not reach the receiver if there are strong radio
waves transmitting nearby, or if there are obstacles blocking the signal.
• The engine may be slow to start during severe cold weather conditions.
• After performing an engine start or stop operation, or after performing a
vehicle status check operation, there are times when the remote control
may not receive a response signal from the vehicle, even though the control
operation such as engine start up is actually being executed.
Vehicles with Remote Control Door Lock Function
• The access key, request switch and door handle operations for remote
control (radio signal) keyless entry or for advanced keyless entry systems
may not work or receive the signal sent from the vehicle remote control, etc.,
due to interference caused by the engine running (started by the Remote
Engine Start) or by engine noise. Therefore, perform the operations on the
vehicle remote control, etc., when the engine is stopped.
Vehicles with Automatic Lights
• When vehicles equipped with automatic lights are set to the “AUTO”
position for the light switch, the lights turn on if the engine is started at night
with the remote control. However, if the engine automatically stops after
warming up, the lights will also turn off at the same time to prevent the
battery from draining. However, to avoid light interference, set the automatic
light switch to the “OFF” position when using the remote control to turn on
the engine at night.
Do Not Perform Unnecessary Idling
• To help protect the environment, conserve energy and avoid inconveniencing
others, do not perform idling when it is unnecessary or longer than necessary.

Remote Control Handling Instructions
The remote control is a sensitive electronic device similar to a cellular telephone.
Please follow the handling instructions below to avoid damage to or breakdown of the
remote control.
● Avoid storing or using the remote control in places that expose it to direct sunlight,
places that have high humidity, places with extremely high temperatures (on top of
the dashboard, etc.) or places with extremely low temperatures (leaving inside the
vehicle while parked at ski resorts, etc.).
● Do not store or use the remote control in places where it comes into direct contact
with water.
● Avoid exposure to strong impacts such as dropping it on the floor or hitting it
against something hard.
● If the remote control gets very dirty, use a cloth soaked in a watered-down, mild or
neutral detergent, ring out the liquid solution and wipe down the remote control.
(Never use benzene, thinner or chemically treated cloth/wipes.)
● Avoid attaching a lot of keys to the key ring on the remote control, or sitting down
while the remote control is in your pocket, as it can cause the remote control to
deform and may result in damage.
● While carrying the remote control, if the keys, etc., come into contact with a
vehicle, it can lead to remote control breakdown or malfunction due an
electrostatic discharge. Therefore, be careful of this risk during time periods when
electrostatic discharges occur frequently.
● Be sure that the battery cover and clasp are securely locked. Otherwise, if water
accidently gets inside the internal part of the transmitter, it can cause breakdown.
● In places where the use of electronics is restricted, such as on board airplanes or
inside hospitals, do not take out the batteries and use this device.
● The remote control can negatively impact electronic and medical devices.
● Be sure to follow the instructions and rules posted inside medical clinics or
facilities regarding the use of electronic devices.
● If the remote control is used on board airplanes, where usage is restricted, you
may be subject to punishment due to airline rules and regulations.
•Depending on the surroundings and how the remote control is held, the minimum distance
required for the signal transmission varies. Generally, if the remote control is directed toward
the vehicle when transmittin
