GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note: Changes or modifications not
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
The term IC before the radio certification
number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 feet (10
meters). Vehicles with the remote start
feature will have a greater range. One of
the following could cause a decrease in
operating range:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle
The radio frequency used by your remote
control can also be used by other short
distance radio transmissions, for example
amateur radios, medical equipment,
wireless headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems. If the frequencies are
jammed, you will not be able to use your
remote control. You can lock and unlock
the doors with the key.
Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally. Intelligent Access (If Equipped)
The system uses a radio frequency signal
to communicate with your vehicle and
authorize your vehicle to unlock when one
of the following conditions are met:
• You touch the inside of the front
exterior door handle.
• You press the luggage compartment
button.
• You press a button on the transmitter.
If excessive radio frequency interference
is present in the area or if the transmitter
battery is low, you may need to
mechanically unlock your door. You can
use the mechanical key blade in your
intelligent access key to open the driver
door in this situation. See Remote
Control (page 44).
REMOTE CONTROL Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (If Equipped)
Use the key blade to start your vehicle and
unlock or lock the driver door from outside
your vehicle. The transmitter portion
functions as the remote control.
E151797
Press the button to release the key. Press
and hold the button to fold the key back
in when not in use.
44Keys and Remote Controls

1. Insert the key blade into the slot on the
bottom of the handle and press up.
2. While maintaining upward pressure,
move the cap rearward to release it.
Gently remove the key while doing so.
To install the cap: E151957
1. Place the cap just forward of the key
cylinder.
2. While applying pressure to the cap,
move it forward until it is in place. You
may hear a snap as it engages.
Make sure you have properly installed the
cap by trying to move it rearward.
Replacing the Battery Note: Refer to local regulations when
disposing of transmitter batteries.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals or on the back surface of
the circuit board.
Note: Replacing the battery will not delete
the transmitter from the vehicle. The
transmitter should operate normally.
A message will appear in the information
display when the remote control battery
is low. See Information Messages (page
98). Integrated Keyhead Transmitter
The remote control uses one coin-type
three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or

Car Finder E138623
Press the button twice within
three seconds. The horn will
sound and the turn signals will

Press the button to activate the
alarm. Press the button again or

deactivate.
Remote Start (If Equipped)
WARNING

Note: Do not use remote start if your vehicle
is low on fuel. E138625
The remote start button is on the
transmitter.
This feature allows you to start your
vehicle from outside the vehicle. The
transmitter has an extended operating
range.
Vehicles with automatic climate control
can be configured to operate when the
vehicle is remote started. See Climate
Control (page 113). A manual climate
control system will run at the setting it was
set to when you switched the vehicle off. Many states and provinces have
restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or provincial
laws for specific requirements regarding
remote start systems.
The remote start system will not work if:
• the ignition is on
• the alarm system triggered
• you disable the feature
• the hood is open
• the transmission is not in P
• the vehicle battery voltage is too low
• the service engine soon light is on.

seriously injure themselves.
When closing the power windows,
you should verify they are free of
obstructions and make sure that
children and pets are not in the proximity
of the window openings.
Note: Window operation may stop or delay
during low battery conditions and engine
