Programming a Spare Integrated Keyhead Transmitter
Note:A maximum of eight coded keys can be programmed to your
vehicle. Only four of these eight can be integrated keyhead transmitters.
You can program your own integrated keyhead transmitters or standard
SecuriLockcoded keys to your vehicle. This procedure will program
both the engine immobilizer key code and the remote entry portion of
the remote control to your vehicle.
Only use integrated keyhead transmitters or standard SecuriLockkeys.
You must have two previously programmed coded keys and the new
unprogrammed key readily accessible. See your authorized dealer to have
the spare key programmed if two previously programmed coded keys are
not available.
Read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed coded key into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition off and remove the first coded key from the ignition.
4. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of turning the ignition off,
insert the second previously coded key into the ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition off and remove the second previously programmed
coded key from the ignition.
7. After three seconds but within 20 seconds of turning the ignition off
and removing the previously programmed coded key, insert the new
unprogrammed key into the ignition.
8. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least six
seconds.
9. Remove the newly programmed coded key from the ignition.
The key will start the vehicle’s engine and will operate the remote entry
system (if the new key is an integrated keyhead transmitter) if it has
been successfully programmed.
Wait 20 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 8 if the key was not
successfully programmed. Take your vehicle to your authorized dealer to
have the new key programmed if you are still unsuccessful.
Wait 20 seconds and then repeat this procedure from Step 1 to program
an additional key.

Programming a Spare Intelligent Access Keys (if equipped)
Note:A maximum of four intelligent access keys can be programmed to
your vehicle. You must take your vehicle and all access keys to your
authorized dealer to be erased and reprogrammed if you would like to
replace a previously programmed access key with a new access key, or if
you already have four access keys programmed to your vehicle.
You must have two previously programmed intelligent access keys inside
the vehicle and the new unprogrammed intelligent access keys readily
accessible. See your authorized dealer to have the spare key programmed
if two previously programmed keys are not available.
Make sure that the vehicle is off before beginning this procedure. Make
sure that all doors are closed before beginning and that they remain
closed throughout the procedure. Perform all steps within 30 seconds of
starting the sequence. Stop and wait for at least one minute before
starting again if any steps are performed out of sequence.
Read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Place the new unprogrammed
intelligent access key, with the
buttons facing out, in the pocket
inside of the center console.
2. Press the driver or passenger
power door unlock control three
times.
3. Press and release the brake pedal
one time.
4. Press the driver or passenger power door lock control three times.
5. Press and release the brake pedal one time. The indicator on the
START/STOP button should begin to rapidly flash, indicating the
programming mode has been entered and two programmed intelligent
access keys have been detected in the vehicle.
6. Press the START/STOP button within one minute. A message will
appear in the information display indicating that the new intelligent
access key was programmed.
7. Remove the intelligent access key from the center console pocket and
press the unlock button on the newly programmed intelligent access key
to exit programming mode.
8. Verify that the remote entry functions operate (press lock then unlock,
making sure you end in unlock) and that the vehicle starts with new
intelligent access key.

ANTI-THEFT ALARM (IF EQUIPPED)
The system will warn you of unauthorized entry to your vehicle.
The turn signal lamps will flash and sound the horn up to a total of 10
times when:
•any door, the hood or the liftgate/trunk is opened without using the
keypad, the remote control or the intelligent access transmitter (if
equipped)
•the ignition is turned on with an invalid key.
Take all keys and remote controls to your authorized dealer if there is
any potential alarm problem with your vehicle.
Arming the Alarm
The system is ready to arm whenever the ignition is off. Lock the vehicle
to arm the alarm.
The turn signal lamps will flash once after locking the vehicle to indicate
the alarm is in the pre-armed mode and will become fully armed in
20 seconds.
Once fully armed, any intelligent access keys (if equipped) found inside
the vehicle are disabled and will not start the engine. Press the unlock
button to re-enable them.
Disarming the Alarm
To disarm the alarm, do any of the following:
•Press the power door unlock button within the 20-second pre-armed
mode.
•Press the unlock button on the remote control.
•Unlock the doors with the keyless entry pad.
•Enter the vehicle using intelligent access (if equipped).
•Turn the ignition on with a valid key (if equipped with IKT only).
•Press the panic button on the remote control. The alarm system will
still be armed, but this shuts off the horn and turn lamps when the
alarm is sounding.
Note:If the driver’s door is unlocked with a key, a chime will sound
when you open the door and a message will appear in the information
display. You will have 12 seconds to disarm the alarm using any of the
actions above, otherwise the alarm will trigger.

move to the easy entry position. The seat will move to the final position
when the key is in the ignition or when the push button start system (if
equipped) is put in accessory mode/started.
To program the memory feature to a remote control, refer toKeys and
remote control.

HEATED SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord
injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the seat heater. The seat heater may
cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion, because this may cause the seat
heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles, or
other pointed objects because this may damage the heating element
which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.
