GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES

This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with 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.

Note: Changes or modifications not
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
The term IC before the radio certification
number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.

The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 feet (10
meters). Vehicles with the remote start
feature will have a greater range. One of
the following could cause a decrease in
operating range:
•

weather conditions

•

nearby radio towers

•

structures around the vehicle

•

other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle

The radio frequency used by your remote
control can also be used by other short
distance radio transmissions, for example
amateur radios, medical equipment,
wireless headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems. If the frequencies are
jammed, you will not be able to use your
remote control. You can lock and unlock
the doors with the key.

Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.

Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally.

Note: The remote control contains sensitive
electrical components. Exposure to moisture
or impact may cause permanent damage.
