If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a normal
distance, check for these two conditions:

1. A weak battery in the transmitter. The expected life of
the battery is a minimum of three years.

2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station
tower, airport transmitter, and some mobile or CB radios.

matic transmission to be equipped with Remote Start.
