the power system may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:
• Strong radio waves are being transmitted by nearby equipment.
• You are carrying the keyless access re mote together with telecommunications
equipment, laptop computers, ce ll phones, or wireless devices.
• A metallic object is touching or covering the keyless access remote.

safe place outside of your vehicle.
If you wish to purchase an additional key, contact a
dealer.
If you lose your key an d you cannot activate the
power system, contact a dealer.

years. This changes by how often you use the remote.
The battery is consumed whenever the keyless access
remote is receivi ng strong radio wave s. Avoid placing
it near electrical appliances such as televisions and
personal computers.
