This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet (10 m). Vehicles with remote start have a longer range.

One of the following may cause a reduction in operating range:

  • Weather conditions.
  • Nearby radio towers.
  • Structures around the vehicle.
  • Other vehicles parked near your vehicle.

The radio frequency used by your remote control may also be used by other radio transmitters, such as amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, wireless remote controls, cell phones, chargers and alarm systems. If the frequencies are congested, you may not be able to use your remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.

Intelligent Access (if equipped)

The system uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your vehicle and allows your vehicle to unlock when one of the following conditions occurs:

  • You activate the front outside door handle switch.
  • You press the liftgate button.
  • You press a button on the transmitter.

If excessive radio frequency interference is present in the area or if the transmitter battery is depleted, you may need to open the door mechanically. You can use the mechanical key blade in the intelligent access key to unlock the driver door in this situation.
