Low Remote Key Signal Strength

Communication between the remote key and the 
vehicle consumes the remote key's battery.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies 
depending on regularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the remote key is 
receiving strong radio waves. Avoid placing it near 
electrical appliances such as televisions and personal 
computers.
