The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the smart entry remote when locking/ unlocking the doors and fuel fill door, opening the trunk, or starting the engine.
In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors, opening the trunk, 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 smart entry remote together with telecommunications equipment, laptop computers, cell phones, or wireless devices.
- A metallic object is touching or covering the smart entry remote.

Battery life is about two years, but this varies depending on regularity of use.
