Honda SMART Key System

The Honda SMART Key system allows you to operate the power switch without inserting a key into a keyhole.

The system runs a two-way authentication between the vehicle and the Honda SMART Key to verify if it is the registered Honda SMART Key.


The Honda SMART Key system uses low-intensity radio waves. It may affect medical equipment such as a cardiac pacemaker.
