GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 19
Your vehicle may be equipped with a keyless ignition
system. The ignition system consists of a key fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and a START/STOP push
button ignition system. The Remote Keyless Entry system
consists of a key fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go feature if
equipped.
NOTE: The key fob may not be found if it is located next
to a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these
devices may block the key fob's wireless signal.
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m)
using a handheld key fob. The key fob does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
This feature allows the driver to operate the ignition switch
with the push of a button as long as the key fob is in the
passenger compartment.
