Low Keyless Remote Signal Strength

Co
ntrols

Low Keyless Remote Signal Strength

The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the keyless remote to start the engine,
lock and unlock

all the door, tailgate, and fuel fill door.

In the following cases, starting the engine or locking/unlocking

the doors/tailgate/

fuel fill door may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:

•

Strong radio waves are being transmitted by nearby equipment.

•

You are carrying the keyless remote together with telecommunications
equipment, laptop computers, cell phones, or wireless devices.

•

A metallic object is touching or covering the keyless remote.

Low Keyless Remote Signal Strength

Communication between the keyless remote and the
vehicle consumes the keyless remote's battery.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies
depending on regularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the keyless
remote is receiving strong radio waves. Avoid placing
it near electrical appliances such as televisions and
personal computers.

Using the Power Tailgate Button

Opening/Closing the Power Tailgate

If the power tailgate meets resistance while opening
or closing, the auto reverse feature reverses the
direction. The beeper sounds three times.

The auto reverse function stops sensing when the
tailgate is almost closed to make sure that it fully
closes.

Do not touch the sensors located on both sides of the
tailgate. The power tailgate does not close if you
touch either sensor when you are trying to close the
tailgate.

Be careful not to scratch the sensors with a sharp
object. If scratched, they can be damaged, and the
power tailgate closing feature malfunctions.
