on the center console is causing
interference. Examples of these
devices are cell phones and cell
phone chargers, two-way radios,
power inverters, or similar items.
Try moving the RKE transmitter
away from these devices when
starting the vehicle. In addition,

.The vehicle is experiencing
Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI). Some
locations, such as airports,
automatic toll booths, and some
gas stations have EMI fields
