KEYS

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The
ignition system consists of a key fob with Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) and a START/STOP
push button ignition system. The Remote Key-
less Entry system consists of a key fob and
Keyless Enter-N-Go feature.
NOTE:
The passive entry key fob if left inside the
car may not be found by the passive entry
control module if it is located next to a cell
phone, laptop, or other electronic devices,
since they could block the frequency signal.

A Word About Your Keys

The authorized dealer that sold you your new
vehicle has the key code numbers for your
vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to
order duplicate Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
key fobs. Ask your authorized dealer for these
numbers and keep them in a safe place.
