KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The
ignition system consists of a key fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and a START/STOP
push button ignition system. The RKE system
uses a receiver module in the vehicle that
wirelessly links with the key fob.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be found if it is located next
to a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic
device; these devices may block the key fob’s
wireless signal.
This system allows you to lock or unlock the
doors and liftgate, activate the Panic Alarm,
optional power liftgate, left power sliding door,
and right power sliding door from distances up
to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a key fob.
When any button on the key fob is pushed, or when any signal is being transferred between
the key fob and the vehicle, an LED light on the
key fob will flash as an indicator. The key fob
does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to
activate the system.
NOTE:
The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the
key fob become depleted. The emergency key is
also for locking/unlocking the glove compart
-
ment. You can keep the emergency key with you
when valet parking.

Key Fob
In case the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a low
or fully depleted battery. A low key fob battery
can be verified by referring to the instrument
cluster, which will display directions to follow.
NOTE:
A low key fob battery condition may be indi
-
cated by a message in the instrument cluster
display, or by the LED light on the key fob. If
the LED key fob light no longer illuminates
from key fob button pushes, then the key fob
battery requires replacement.
The key fob LED light brightness is designed
for indoor light viewing, so the LED light may
not be visible in direct sunlight. In a situation where the battery is low or fully
depleted, a back up method can be used to
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side of
the key fob (side opposite of the Emergency
Key) against the START/STOP ignition button
and push to operate the ignition switch.
To Unlock The Doors
NOTE:

Uconnect Settings lets you program the system to
unlock either the driver's side doors on the first
push (default) or unlock all doors on the first push
of the unlock button on the key fob. To change
the default setting, refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” for further information.

1st Push Of Key Fob Unlocks
Push and release the unlock button on the key
fob once to unlock the driver front door and
sliding door or twice within five seconds to
unlock all doors and liftgate. The hazard lights
will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The
illuminated entry system will be activated.
2nd Push Of Key Fob Unlocks
Push and release the unlock button on the key
fob twice within five seconds to unlock all doors
and liftgate. The turn signal lights will flash to

Start the vehicle
The engine only runs in the ON/RUN ignition
position or from a remote start request.
In case the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a low
or depleted 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
START/STOP ignition button and push to
operate the ignition switch.

Backup Starting Method
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.
NOTE:
For further information, refer to "Starting The
Engine" in "Starting And Operating."
REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
If applicable, refer to the “Hybrid Supplement”
for additional information.
This system uses the key fob to start the
engine conveniently from outside the
vehicle while still maintaining security.
The system has a range of 328 ft (100 m).

WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always 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 unat -
tended 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 chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
in the RUN mode. 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.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation. Always
remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.

Oil Life Reset
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Required” message will display for approxi-
mately five seconds after a single chime has
sounded, to indicate it is time to change the
engine oil. The engine oil change indicator
system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate,
dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to
display each time the ignition is cycled to the
ON/RUN position.
To reset the oil change indicator after
performing the scheduled maintenance,
refer to the following procedure.
NOTE:
This procedure should only be performed after
scheduled maintenance is completed. Reset -
ting oil life other than when associated with a
scheduled maintenance may result in damage
due to not properly maintaining the engine oil. Oil Life Reset

1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the
ENGINE START/STOP button and place the
ignition in the ON/RUN position (do not
start the vehicle.)

2. Push the OK button to enter the instrument
cluster display menu screen.
3. Push and release the down arrow button to
access the ”Vehicle Info” menu screen.
4. Push the left arrow button or right arrow
button to access the “Oil Life” submenu.
5. Hold the OK button to reset the “Oil Life” to
100%.
6. Push the up arrow button to exit the
instrument cluster display menu screen.
Secondary Method For Oil Life Reset Procedure

1. Without pushing the brake pedal, place the ignition in the ON/RUN position (do not
start the engine).

2. Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds. 3. Without pushing the brake pedal, place the
ignition in the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator
system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this
procedure.
Fuel And Oil Refresh Mode
Since it is possible to operate this vehicle for
extended periods of time without running the
gas engine, the fuel within the vehicle’s fuel
tank can become stale or the engine oil’s
lubricating properties can be reduced. To
prevent engine and/or fuel system damage due
to stale fuel, as well as, maintaining internal
engine lubrication, this vehicle is equipped with
a “Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode”.

The vehicle will automatically enter into the Fuel and
Oil Refresh Mode to minimize potential for stale
fuel, and to ensure lubrication of internal engine
components. When operating in this mode, the gas
engine will run to provide vehicle propulsion
(electric only operation is inhibited). A message will
be displayed in the instrument cluster whenever
Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode is active.
