The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the smart entry remote when locking/  
unlocking the doors and tailgate, or to start the engine.  
Communication between the smart entry remote and  
the vehicle consumes the smart entry remote’s  
battery.  
Battery life is about two years, but this varies  
depending on regularity of use.  
The battery is consumed whenever the smart entry  
remote is receiving strong radio waves. Avoid placing  
it near electrical appliances such as televisions and  
personal computers.  
In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors and tailgate, or starting the  
engine may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:  
Strong radio waves are being transmitted by nearby equipment.
