A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.
This system includes a RKE Key Fob and a
Keyless Push Button Ignition.
Keyless Push Button Ignition
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition with the push of a button, as long as the
RKE Key Fob is in the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Push Button Ignition has four
operating positions; three of which are labeled
and will illuminate when in position. The three
positions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The
fourth position is START, during start RUN will
illuminate.
NOTE:
In case the ignition position does not
change with the push of a button, the RKE
Key Fob may have a low or dead battery. In
this situation, a back up method can be used
to operate the keyless push button ignition.
Put the nose side (side opposite of the
emergency key) of the RKE Key Fob against
the keyless ignition push button and push to
operate the ignition.

RKE Key Fob
The RKE Key Fob contains an emergency key,
which stores in the rear of the RKE Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the
RKE Key Fob go dead. The emergency key is
also for locking the glove compartment. You can
keep the emergency key with you when valet
parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the me-
chanical latch at the top of the RKE Key Fob
sideways with your thumb and then pull the key
out with your other hand.
