Controls
Low Remote Signal Strength
The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the remote when locking/unlocking the
doors*, tailgate*, and fuel fill door*, opening the power sliding door* and the power
tailgate*, or to start the engine.
In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors
*, opening the power sliding
door* and the power tailgate*, or starting the engine may be inhibited or operation
may be unstable:
• 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.
1Low Remote Signal Strength
Communication between the remote and the vehicle
consumes the remote’s battery.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies
depending on re gularity 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.

Security System
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from
starting the engine. Each key contains electronic transmitters that use electronic
signals to verify the key.
Pay attention to the follo wing when pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button:
• Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the ENGINE START/
STOP button.
• Make sure the key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
• Do not bring a key from another vehicle’s immobilizer system near the ENGINE
START/STOP button.
• Do not put the key near magnetic items. Electronic devices, such as televisions
and audio systems emit strong magnetic fields. Note that even a key chain can
become magnetic.
Security System Alarm
The security system alarm activates when the tailgate, hood, or doors are forcibly
opened.
The alarm does not activate if the tailgate or doors are opened with the key, remote
transmitter or smart entry system
*.
However, the alarm activates if a door is opened with the key, then the hood is
opened before the power mode is set to ON.
■When the security system alarm activates
The horn sounds intermittently, and some exterior lights flash.
1Immobilizer System
NOTICE
Leaving the key in the vehicl e can result in theft or
accidental movement of the vehicle.
Always take the key with you whenever you leave the
vehicle unattended.
Do not alter the system or add other devices to it.
Doing so may damage the system and make your
vehicle inoperable.
Canadian models only: Apply and hold the brake
pedal before turning the vehicle on the first time after
the battery has been disconnected.
1 Security System Alarm
The security system alarm continues for a maximum
of two minutes until the security system alarm
deactivates.
