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
liftgate or activate the Panic Alarm from
a distance. 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. Thepanic 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.
Operation
Unlocking The Doors And The Liftgate
Briefly pushing the unlock button on the
key fob will unlock the doors and liftgate,
turn on the interior lights, and flash the
turn signals once (if activated from the
Information and Entertainment System).
Push and release the unlock button on the
key fob once to unlock the driver side
front door or twice within one second to
unlock all doors and the liftgate.
It is, however, possible to change the
current setting through the Information
and Entertainment System menu, so that
the system unlocks:
All doors on the first push of the key
fob unlock button.
The driver door on the first push of the
key fob unlock button.
The liftgate "independently" or "with
doors".
Flashing of the turn signals upon
locking/unlocking the doors, and
activation of the courtesy light upon
unlocking the doors, can be activated or
deactivated through the Information and
Entertainment System. For further
information, refer to the Information and
Entertainment System Owner’s Manual
Supplement.
The doors can also be unlocked by using

IGNITIONSYSTEM
Operation
To activate the keyless ignition, the key
fob must be inside the vehicle.
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 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 exiting 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.

Irregular Operation
If the key code is not 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 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.
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
Alarm Activation
The vehicle security alarm monitors the
vehicle doors and ignition for
unauthorized operation. When the vehicle
security alarm is activated, interior
switches for door locks are disabled. The
system provides both audible and visible
signals.
While armed, the alarm will sound in the
following scenarios:
Opening of doors/hood/liftgate
(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.
