switch.
You exceed the operating distance limit (about 30 m [90 feet]).
The battery in the transmitter (or smart key) is weak.
Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal.
The weather is extremely cold.
The transmitter (or smart key) is close to a radio transmitter such as
a radio station or an airport which
can interfere with normal operation
of the transmitter.
When the transmitter (or smart key)
does not work properly, open and
close the door with the ignition key. If

is especially important when the
phone is active such as making call,
receiving calls, text messaging,
and/or sending/receiving emails.
Avoid placing the transmitter and
your cell phone or smart phone in
the same pants or jacket pocket and
maintain adequate distance
between the two devices.
