, and fuel fill door *
, opening the trunk *
, or to start the engine.
In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors *
, and fuel fill door *
, opening the

• Strong radio waves are being tra nsmitted by nearby equipment.
• You are carrying the remote together with telecommunications equipment,
laptop computers, cell phone s, or wireless devices.
• A metallic object is touchi ng or covering the remote. 1 Low Remote Signal Strength
Communication between the remote and the vehicle
consumes the remote’s battery.

depending on regularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the remote is
receiving strong radio waves. Avoid placing it near
electrical appliances such as televisions and personal
computers.
