The Operation Range of the Power Source Switching Function has Decreased [11/2021 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK POWER SOURCE MODE CHANGING FUNCTION 
    1. Hold the digital key above the center console near the vehicle interior BLE digital key receiver and operate the power switch*1 or engine switch*2.
      NOTE:
      • Make sure there is no electronic device that outputs high-voltage or noise inside or around the vehicle.
      • Make sure that the digital key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
      1. *1: for HEV Model
      2. *2: for Gasoline Model
    2. While moving the digital device closer to and farther away from the center console while repeatedly changing the power source mode, check the operating range.

      OK

      The range at which the power source mode can be changed is the same as the default.
