KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition
system. This system includes a key fob
and a keyless push button ignition.
The key fob with Remote Control
contains a Remote Keyless Entry key
fob. The Remote Keyless Entry system
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
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 internal adjustablelights 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.

key fob will unlock the doors and trunk
lid, turn on the interior lights, and flash
the turn signals once (if activated from

IGNITION SYSTEM
Operation
To activate the keyless ignition, the key
fob must be inside the passenger
compartment.
The keyless ignition has the following
modes:
STOP: engine off, steering locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. central
door locking system, alarm, etc.) are
still available.
ON: all electrical devices are
available. This state can be entered by
pushing the ignition button once,
without pressing the brake pedal.
AVV: engine starting. This state can be
entered by pushing the ignition button
once while pressing the brake pedal.
Note:
With the keyless ignition in the ON
position: if 30 minutes pass with the
gear selector in P (Park) and the
engine stopped, the keyless ignition
will automatically reset to the STOP
position.
With the engine started, it is
possible to remove the key fob from
the vehicle. The engine will remain
running and the instrument cluster will
indicate the absence of the key fob
when the door is closed.
For more information on the engine
start-up, refer to "Starting The Engine"
in "Starting And Operating."
Warning!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
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 transmission gear
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition in
the AVV or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
Be sure the parking brake is fully
disengaged before driving; failure to do so
can lead to brake failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the parking brake
when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and
cause damage or injury. Also be certain to
leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to
do so may allow the vehicle to roll and
cause damage or injury.
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake
engaged, or repeated use of the parking
brake to slow the vehicle may cause
serious damage to the brake system.
Caution!
If the Brake System Warning Light remains
on with the parking brake released, a brake
system malfunction is indicated. Have the
brake system serviced by an authorized
dealer immediately.

General Information
The following regulatory statement
applies to all Radio Frequency (RF)
devices equipped in this vehicle:
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Note:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for

ENGINE
IMMOBILIZER
Engine Immobilizer
Operation
The Engine Immobilizer system
prevents unauthorized use of the
vehicle by disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled or activated. Operation of the
immobilizer is automatic whether the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition is set to ON, the
Engine Immobilizer system identifies the
code transmitted by the key. If the code
is recognized as valid, the Engine
Immobilizer system enables engine
starting.
When the ignition is brought back to
STOP, the Engine Immobilizer system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, disabling engine starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, refer to “Starting The
Engine” in “Starting And Operating.”
Irregular Operation
If the key code is not correctly
recognized during starting, the Engine
Immobilizer Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is displayed on the instrument
panel (refer to "Warning Lights And
Messages" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel"). This condition leads
to the engine turning off after two
seconds. In this case, switch the
GUID-04026S0002EMKey Fob Placement Location

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

ignition to STOP and then to ON; if it is
still blocked, try with the other keys
provided. If it is still not possible to start
the engine, contact an authorized
dealer.
If the Engine Immobilizer
Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is
displayed while driving, this means that
the system is running a self-diagnosis
(e.g. due to a voltage drop). If the
display persists, contact an authorized
dealer.
Note:
Do not tamper with the Engine
Immobilizer system. Any modifications
or alterations could cause the
protection function to be deactivated.
The Engine Immobilizer system is
not compatible with certain aftermarket
remote starting systems. The use of
these devices could cause problems
when starting, as well as the
deactivation of the protection function.
All keys provided with the vehicle
have been programmed in accordance
with the electronics on the vehicle
itself.
Each key has its own code which
must be stored by the system's control
unit. Contact an authorized dealer to
have new keys (up to eight) stored with
a code.
