If you notice a decrease in the range of
the RKE transmitter, try this:
• Check the distance. You may be too
far from your vehicle, especially dur-
ing rainy or snowy weather.
• Check the location. Other vehicles or
objects may be blocking the signal.
• Check to determine whether battery
replacement or resynchronization is
necessary.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Note: The RKE system will not operate
if the hood is open or if the key is in the
ignition.
RKE Resynchronization
For added security, the RKE transmitter
does not send the same signal twice to
the vehicle. This prevents anyone from
recording and playing back the signal to
gain entry into the vehicle.
If your RKE transmitter is not operating
properly, resynchronization may be nec-
essary. To resynchronize the system,
stand close to your vehicle and press
and hold the Lock and Unlock buttons
on the RKE transmitter at the same time
for seven seconds. The door locks
should cycle to confirm resynchroniza-
tion has occurred.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
RKE Transmitter Battery
Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your
Remote Keyless Entry transmitter
should last about four years. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the
transmitter works, it’s probably time to
change the battery.
