Honda CR-V: Locking and Unlocking the Doors / Low Smart Entry Remote Signal Strength*
* 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.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies depending on regularity of
use.
The battery is consumed whenever the smart entry remote is receiving strong
radio waves. Avoid placing it near electrical
appliances such as televisions and personal computers.
All the keys have an immobilizer system. The immobilizer system helps protect
against vehicle theft.
The keys contain precision electronics.
Adhere to the following advice to prevent damage to the electronics:
Do not leave the keys in direct sunlight, or in locations with high
temperature or high humidity...
If the interior light switch is in the door activated position, the interior
light comes on when you unlock the doors and tailgate.
