• Strong radio waves are being tra nsmitted by nearby equipment.
• You are carrying the smart entry remote  together with telecommunications 
equipment, laptop computers, ce ll phones, or wireless devices.
• A metallic object is touching or  covering the smart entry remote.1Low Smart Entry Remote Signal Strength*

depending on re gularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the smart entry 
remote is receivi ng strong radio wave s. Avoid placing 
it near electrical  appliances such as  televisions and
