KEYS
KEY FOB
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.
The ignition system consists of a key fob with
R e

mote Keyless Entry (RKE) and a START/STOP
push button ignition system. The Remote
Keyless Entry system consists of a key fob and
Keyless Enter-N-Go feature if equipped.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be found if it is located next
t o

a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic
device; these devices may block the key fob’s
wireless signal.
The Remote Keyless Entry key fob also contains
an
emergency key, which stores in the rear of
the key fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the
v e

hicle should the battery in the vehicle or the
key fob become depleted. The emergency key is
also for locking the glove compartment. You can
keep the emergency key with you when valet
parking. To remove the emergency key, slide the
m
e

chanical latch on the back of the key fob
sideways with your thumb and then pull the key
out with your other hand.

Emergency Key Removal

You can insert the double-sided emergency key
in
to the lock cylinders with either side up.
The Remote Keyless Entry system allows you to
l o

ck or unlock the doors, open the liftgate, or
activate the Panic Alarm from distances up to
approximately 66 ft (20 m). The key fob does
n o

t need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate
the system. NOTE:

Driving at speeds 2 mph (4 km/h) and above
d i

sables the system from responding to all key
fob buttons for all key fobs.
