NOTICE

To avoid damaging the remote key:

  • Keep the smart key away from water or any other liquid and from fire. Internal circuits may fail if the inside of the smart key becomes wet (from liquid or moisture) or if it overheats. This may exclude the remote key from warranty coverage.
  • Do not drop or throw the smart key.
  • Protect the smart key from extreme temperatures.
