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.
