Introduction

Some 2014 model year vehicles are equipped with a Smart Key system, which allows the customer
to enter and start the vehicle without using a mechanical key. To ensure the system is operating
properly, the Smart Key functions (Smart Entry and Smart Start) should be inspected during
Pre-Delivery Service (PDS). The following inspection procedure has been developed to confirm the
proper operation of the Smart Key system prior to vehicle delivery.
NOTE
Check ALL of the Smart Keys using this procedure.
