KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition
system. This system includes a key fob
and a keyless push button ignition.
The Remote Keyless Entry key fob allows
you to lock or unlock the doors and trunk
or activate the Panic Alarm from
distances. The key fob does not need to
be pointed at the vehicle to activate the
system.
PANIC Function
The key fob contains a PANIC button.
Should you ever feel threatened, push
this button and the vehicle security alarm
will sound.
To activate the PANIC function, push and
hold the PANIC button for at least one
second. When the panic alarm is active,
the headlights turn on, the turn signals
flash, the horn honks intermittently, and
all interior adjustable lights turn on.The panic alarm will remain active for
three minutes, and can be deactivated:By pushing the PANIC button again.
Automatically if the vehicle speed
exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).
In both cases, the panic alarm is
immediately deactivated.
Warning!
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK, apply
the parking brake, turn the engine OFF,
remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.

SECURITY ALARMSYSTEM
Alarm Activation
While armed, the alarm will sound in the
following scenarios:
Opening of doors/hood/trunk lid
(perimeter protection)
Operation of ignition with a key which
is not validated
Cutting of the battery cables
Movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection —
if equipped)
Unexpected lifting/tilting of the
vehicle (anti-lift protection — if
equipped)
Activation of the alarm triggers the
acoustic warning and the turn signals.
Note: The alarm system is activated by
the Engine Immobilizer system, which is
automatically activated when you get out
of the vehicle with the key fob and lock
the doors.
To Arm The Alarm
With the doors, hood, and trunk lid closed
and the keyless ignition system placed in
the STOP position, push and release the
lock button on the key fob. The alarm can
also be armed by pushing the Passive Entry door handle button, located on the
exterior door handle. For further
information, refer to "Passive Entry" in
"Doors.”
When the alarm is armed, the warning
lights on the panels of the interior front
door handles will flash.
The activation of the alarm is preceded
by a self-diagnosis stage: if a fault is
detected, the system emits a further
acoustic signal.
If a second acoustic signal is emitted
after the alarm is already armed, wait
about four seconds and disarm the alarm
by pushing the unlock button. Verify that
the doors, hood, and trunk lid are closed
correctly and then rearm the system by
pushing the lock button on the key fob.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even
when the doors, hood, and trunk lid are
correctly closed, a fault has occurred in
system operation. In this case, contact an
authorized dealer.
To Disarm The Alarm
Push the unlock button to disarm the
alarm. While disarming, the following
operations are performed:
Two brief flashes of the turn signals
(if programmed)
Two brief acoustic signals

with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the gear selector.

Passive Entry
The Passive Entry system can identify
the presence of a key fob near the doors
and trunk lid. The system enables the doors and trunk
lid to be locked or unlocked without
pushing any button on the key fob.
The key fob is detected only after the
system recognizes the presence of a
hand on one of the front door handles. If
the detected key fob is valid, the doors
and the trunk lid are unlocked (refer to
the Information and Entertainment
System Owner’s Manual Supplement for
Passive Entry Settings).
Note:
The key fob may not be able to be
detected by the vehicle keyless-go
system if it is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop or other electronic device;
these devices may block the key fob’s
wireless signal and prevent the
keyless-go system from starting the
vehicle.
Grasping the handle of the driver's door
unlocks the driver's side door, or all doors
depending on the mode set using the
Information and Entertainment System
(refer to the Information and
Entertainment System Owner’s Manual
Supplement for Passive Entry Settings).
Note: If wearing gloves, or if it has rained
and the door handle is wet, the activation
sensitivity of the Passive Entry function
may be reduced, resulting in a longer
reaction time.

not be unlocked again.
The vehicle doors and trunk lid can be
