depending on the operating conditions,
the battery’s life is approximately 2 years.
If the battery is discharged, replace it with
a new one.

discharged, insert the Intelligent Key into
the Intelligent Key port to start the engine.
For more details, see “Push-button ignition
switch” (P.5-9). Replace the discharged

personal computer, the battery life may
become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of a
battery, see “Intelligent Key battery repla-
cement” (P.8-24).
