KEYS
Your vehicle uses keyless ignition system. The ignition
system consists of a key fob with a Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and an ignition switch. The keyless ignition system
consists of a key fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go button.
Key Fob
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m)
using a handheld key fob. The key fob does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
NOTE:In the ON/RUN position, the lock button is dis-
abled. Only the unlock button is enabled.
• This feature allows the driver to operate the ignition
switch with the push of a button as long as the Remote
Keyless Entry 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 switch does not change with the
push of a button, the key fob may have a low or dead
battery. In this situation, a back up method can be used to
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side (side opposite
of the emergency key) of the key fob against the ENGINE
START/STOP button and push to operate the ignition
switch.

The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system 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.
Security System Manual Override
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the
doors using the manual door lock plunger.

turned on or off using the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor-
mation.

matically 10 minutes after the ignition switch is moved to the
LOCK position. This will occur if the interior lights were
switched on manually or are on because a door is open.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
The interior lights come on when a door is opened.
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off
automatically 10 minutes after the ignition is moved to the
LOCK position. This will occur if the interior lights were
switched on manually or are on because a door is open.
