KEYS

Your vehicle uses 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 Re-
mote 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 elec-
tronic device; these devices may block the
key fob's wireless signal.

Key Fob

The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the
doors and liftgate from distances up to ap-
proximately 66ft (20m) 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.
• The Keyless Push Button Ignition has
three operating positions which are la-
beled and will illuminate when in position.
The three positions are: OFF, ACC, and
ON/RUN. During start,
illuminate.
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 oppo-
site of the emergency key) of the key fob
against the ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the ignition switch.
