GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES

This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Licence exempt RSS
Standards of Industry Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
•

This device may not cause harmful
interference, and

•

This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.

WARNING

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 ft (10 m).
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.

Other short distance radio transmissions,
for example amateur radios, medical
equipment, wireless headphones, remote
controls and alarm systems can also use
the radio frequency used by your remote
control. 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.

entry transmitters with you to an authorized
dealer in order to aid in troubleshooting the
problem.

remote transmitter unlock command only
unlocks the front doors. The side or rear
cargo doors can only be unlocked from
outside your vehicle using the key.

Reprogramming the Remote

accessible before beginning this
procedure. Any remote control that is not

coded keys to your vehicle.

Note: Do not apply the brake pedal during
