Using RKE, you can lock/arm or unlock/disarm the vehicle from
distances approximately 9 m (30 ft) This is in open area.
If there is reduction in RKE range, please follow the steps below:
• Check the distance: The RKE may be too far from the vehicle.
Stand closer to the vehicle during rain or bad weather
• Check the location: Other vehicles or objects may be blocking
the signals. Take a few steps to the left or right, hold the RKE
higher, and try again. Moreover, closeness to a radio
transmitter such as radio station tower, airport transmitter,
mobile or CB radios may lead to reduction in range of RKE
• Check the RKE battery: See battery replacement procedure,
given later in this section
• If the RKE is still not working correctly, contact an Authorized
Mahindra Dealer
