The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter functions will work up to 195 feet (60 m) away, however, the operating range may be less while the vehicle is running.
There are other conditions which can affect the performance of the transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System .

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each RKE transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through your dealer/retailer. All transmitters need to be re-coded to match the new transmitter. The lost transmitter will no longer work after the new transmitters are re-coded. The vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Replace the battery if the KEY FOB BATT LOW message displays in the DIC. See "KEY FOB BATTERY LOW" under DIC Warnings and Messages for additional information.
Notice: When replacing the battery, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter.
To replace the battery in the RKE transmitter:
- Separate the halves of the transmitter with a flat, thin object inserted into the notch on the side.
- Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
- Insert the new battery, positive side facing up. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.
- Put the transmitter back together tightly.
