* Not available on all models

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

In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors, opening the 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 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.

Communication between the smart entry remote and the vehicle consumes the smart entry remote’s battery.
