uuLocking and Unlocking the DoorsuLow Keyless Access Remote Signal Strength
Controls
Low Keyless Access Remote Signal StrengthThe vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the keyless access remote when locking/
unlocking the doors, unlocking the tailgate, or to start the engine.
In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors or unlocking the tailgate or
starting the engine may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:
•Strong radio waves are being transmitted by nearby equipment.
•You are carrying the keyless access remote together with telecommunications
equipment, notebook computers, mobile phones, or wireless machines.
•A metallic object is touching or covering the keyless access remote.
1Low Keyless Access Remote Signal Strength
Communication between the keyless access remote
and the vehicle consumes the keyless access remote’s
battery.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies
depending on regularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the keyless access
remote is receiving strong radio waves. Avoid placing
it near electrical appliances such as televisions and
personal computers.
