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

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.
