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.

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.

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!

NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defec -
tive outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to
light when the lever is moved, it would suggest
that the indicator bulb is defective.
Turn Signal Warning
