Low Smart Entry Remo te Signal Strength*
The vehicle transmits radio waves to loca te the smart entry remote when locking/
unlocking the doors and tailgate, or to start the engine.
In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors and tailgate, or starting the 
engine may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:
• 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*
Communication between the smart entry remote and 
the vehicle consumes the smart entry remote’s 
battery.

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 
personal computers.
