Range of your remote control can be affected by a weak battery, interference from nearby metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots.

In most cases, your system will confirm that command has been received properly. This will be done either by sounding horn (if horn was connected during installation) or flashing parking lights. In this manual, confirmation signals are written in an abbreviated form; for example:
