- Operating the request switches.

To restore these functions, perform any one of the following:
- Press the lock or unlock button on the advanced key which has had its functions suspended.

- While carrying another advanced key, push in the start knob until the KEY indicator light (green) in the instrument cluster illuminates.

- Insert the auxiliary key and turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
