TABLE OF CONTENTS

Panic Alarm
• Push PANIC button once to turn the panic alarm on.
• Wait approximately three seconds and push button a second time to turn the panic
alarm off.
WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key Fob from the ignition 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 of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
REMOTE START
• Push REMOTE START buttonx2on the Key Fob twice within five seconds.
Pushing the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, push UNLOCK button, insert the key in the ignition and turn
to the ON/RUN position.
• With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the
ignition key is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the key after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or
death.
Remote Start Windshield Wiper De–icer Activation — If Equipped
When Remote Start is active and the outside ambient temperature is less than 40° F
(4.4° C), the wiper De-Icer will be enabled. On exiting remote start resume previous
operation except, if the De-Icer is active, the De-Icer timer and operation will continue.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button for unauthorized operation. While the
Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and decklid release
are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will provide
the following audible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps and/or
turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will
flash.
To A r m :
• Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or
the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be
open or closed), and close all doors.
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in any
manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
NOTE:
• The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door
lock plungers.
• Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver
door trim panel and passenger door trim panel.
To D i s a r m T h e S y s t e m :
• Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can
create conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the
Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
KEYLESS ENTER-N-GO™
The Keyless Enter-N-Go™ system is an enhancement to the vehicle’s Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) feature. This feature allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle's
door(s) and liftgate without having to push the Key Fob lock or unlock buttons, as well
as starting and stopping the vehicle with the push of a button.

your vehicle with a 3G cellular connection. Uconnect®Access provides:
•The ability to remotely lock/unlock your doors and start your vehicle from virtually
anywhere, with the Uconnect®Access App, Owner Connect website and Uconnect®
Care (Vehicle must be within the United States and have network coverage).

have been triggered, one of which could be that your vehicle was stolen. If so,
please see the details of the Stolen Vehicle Assistance service below. When you
register, Security Alarm Notification is automatically set to send you an email at
the mail address you provide should the alarm go off. You may also opt to have a
text message sent to your mobile device.

GPS technology and the built-in wireless connection within your vehicle, the
Uconnect®Care agent will be able to locate the stolen vehicle and work with law
enforcement to help recover it. (Vehicle must be within the United States, have

exactly the same as the normal (fixed speed) cruise control with one difference.
You can set a specified distance you would like to maintain between you and the
vehicle in front of you.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or
acceleration automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching
the speed of the vehicle ahead.
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set
speed.
• For further information on Adaptive Cruse Control (ACC) ON operation and proper
use, refer to “Speed Control ” in “Operating Your Vehicle”.
