Low Keyless Remote Signal Strength*

The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the keyless remote when locking/unlocking the doors and tailgate, or to start the engine.

In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors and 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 remote together with telecommunications equipment, laptop computers, mobile phones, or wireless devices.
  • A metallic object is touching or covering the keyless remote.
Detail
Communication between the keyless remote and the vehicle consumes the keyless remote’s battery.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies depending on regularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the keyless remote is receiving strong radio waves. Avoid placing it near electrical appliances such as televisions and personal computers.
