Smart key warning light
What it means
The amber key warning can indicate that a matching smart key is not detected. Flashing after pressing START/STOP indicates a low key battery.
What to do
Check the displayed key-detection message and that the matching key is inside the vehicle. A flashing warning identifies the key-battery condition; do not interpret it as a vehicle-battery warning.
