cator light does not flash, the battery may be dead.

The following conditions indicate that the battery power is low:  
• The KEY indicator light (green) flashes in the combination meter for  
about 30 seconds after the engine is switched OFF.  
• The system does not operate and the operation indicator light on  
the smart key does not flash when the buttons are pressed.
