approach lights under the outside mirrors, they can be
turned off by using the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) controls (if NOT equipped with a touch-
screen radio) or the Uconnect radio (if equipped with a
touchscreen radio). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)” or “Uconnect Settings” in “Under-

This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate, and 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)

to any button pushed from that RKE transmitter. Driving
at speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and above disables the system
from responding to all RKE transmitter buttons for all
RKE transmitters.
Two RKE transmitters may be supplied with the vehicle.
Vehicles built without the powered options will be
equipped from the factory with three-button RKE trans-
mitters, and those built with power options will be
equipped with up to seven-button RKE transmitters.Using The RKE Transmitter
Three-button RKE transmitters will provide basic UN-
LOCK, LOCK, and PANIC functions.
