  • *3: Only one notification per set condition will be sent during a single trip.
  • *4: If the smart access system with push-button start has been canceled, vehicle status alerts notifications will not be sent to the user. If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is inside the vehicle or detected as being "inside cabin", vehicle status alerts notifications will not be sent.
  • *5: If the vehicle cannot receive the remote engine start and stop signal due to the condition of the vehicle (such as if the DCM (telematics transceiver) is outside of the cellular telephone reception area), the engine will not be started remotely. Additionally, the remote engine start and stop operation signal may not be received depending on vehicle conditions.
  • *6: If the vehicle cannot receive a door lock/unlock signal due to the condition of the vehicle (such as if the DCM (telematics transceiver) is outside of the cellular telephone reception area), the door lock or unlock operation will not be performed.
