18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a normal
distance, check for these two conditions:
1. Closeness to a radio transmitter, such as a radio stationtower, airport transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radios can affect transmitter operation. To verify if this
is the cause, move the vehicle to another area and test
RKE transmitter operation.
2. The RKE transmitter may become “out of sync” and 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, cycle
the ignition to the OFF position. Close the hood and all
doors. Press both buttons on the RKE transmitter for
about 10 seconds. The horn will chirp once to ac-
knowledge the signal. Normal RKE transmitter opera-
tion should resume. 3. The RKE transmitter battery may be weak or dead.
The expected life of the battery is a minimum of three
years.
