At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:

    • Check the distance. You may be too far from your vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy or snowy weather.
    • Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and try again.
    • Check to determine if battery replacement is necessary. See "Battery Replacement" under Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation .
    • If you are still having trouble, see your retailer or a qualified technician for service.
