Key Fob

the square end of the key fob into the ignition
switch located on the instrument panel and
rotate to the desired position. The key fob also
contains an emergency key, which is stored in
the rear of the key fob.

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 approxi-
mately 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.
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a low
or dead battery. In this situation, a back up
method can be used to operate the ignition
switch. Put the nose side (side opposite of the
emergency key) of the key fob against the
ENGINE START/STOP button and push to op-
erate the ignition switch.
