Operation is subject to the following conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference that may be
received, including interference that may cause undes-
ired operation.

tower, airport transmitter, and some mobile or CB radioscan affect transmitter operation. To verify if this is the
cause, move the vehicle to another area and test RKE
transmitter operation.

will no longer function if operated more than 255 times
while out of range of the vehicle (23 ft or 7 m) or if
operated while the vehicle battery is dead or discon-
nected. To “synchronize” the RKE transmitter, remove
the key from the ignition. Close the hood and all doors.
