Even when the remote is inside the
vehicle, the beeper may sound when
the location of the remote is not
detected due to surrounding
conditions. It is not a failure. Make
sure that you carry the remote with
you.
The outside beeper sounds when the
power mode is in ACCESSORY, and
a door is opened, then closed.

lasts about 2 years. To ensure
maximum battery life, do not store
the remote close to electrical devices
such as computers or TVs. When the

BATTERY, ’’replace the battery as
soon as possible (see page 191). If the remote battery becomes weak
and the power door lock/unlock
operation is disabled, you should
insert the remote into the keyless
access remote slot to set the power
mode and start the engine. After
inserting the remote to the slot,
operate the engine start/stop button
as previously described (see pages
194 and 195). For more information
on the keyless access slot, see page
205.
Inserting the remote does not charge
the remote battery. You should
replace the battery as soon as
possible.
