Most practical situations in everyday use will have some sort of physical and electrical
obstructions between you and your vehicle such as walls, trees, other vehicles, etc. These
obstructions might affect the effectiveness of the wireless communication and consequently
the remote start/stop performance might be affected.
Therefore, please be advised to consider such possible limitation when choosing location to
park vehicle or activating the system from building interior. While inside the building, please
look for minimum physical obstruction of building components such as glass windows and
doors. Also, try to keep distance from other radio wave emitting devices, or facilities such as
radio stations.
Please note that maximum operating range and success rate may vary depending on terrain
characteristics, surrounding environment, battery power condition on remote control,
radio-frequency interference, etc.
Lastly, the remote control orientation may also affect the wireless wave transmission and
reception. Optimal performance is achieved by holding the Accessory remote control
vertically.
