The High Voltage battery ch arge level may decrease
under the following conditions:
•When the 12-volt batter y has been replaced.•When the 12-volt battery has been disconnected.•When the High Voltage battery control system
corrects its reading.
The charge level readin g will be corrected
automatically while driving.
Changes in the temperatur e of the High Voltage
battery can increase or decrease the battery’s charging
capacity. If temperature ch anges cause the battery’s
capacity to change, the num ber of indicators in the

Controls
Low Keyless Remote Signal Strength
The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the keyless remote to activate the power
system, when locking/unlocking the door, tailgate, and fuel fill door.
In the following cases, activating the power system or locking/unlocking the doors/
tailgate/fuel fill door may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:
• Strong radio waves are being tra nsmitted by nearby equipment.
• You are carrying the keyless remote together with telecommunications
equipment, laptop computers, ce ll phones, or wireless devices.
• A metallic object is touching or covering the keyless remote.1Low Keyless Remote Signal Strength
Communication between the keyless remote and the
vehicle consumes the ke yless remote’s battery.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies
depending on re gularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the keyless
remote is receivi ng strong radio wave s. Avoid placing
it near electrical appliances such as televisions and
personal computers.
