Locking and Unlocking the Doors

Low Remote Signal Strength

Co
ntrols

Low Remote Signal Strength

The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the remote when locking/unlocking the
doors

, opening the trunk

, or to activate the power system.

In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors

, opening the trunk

, or

activating the power system may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:
• Strong radio waves are being transmitted by nearby equipment.
• You are carrying the remote together with telecommunications equipment,

laptop computers, cell phones, or wireless devices.

• A metallic object is touching or covering the remote.

Low 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 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.
