Integrated Ignition Key
The integrated ignition key operates the ignition switch.
It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-
mitter and an emergency key, which stores in the rear of
the RKE transmitter.
The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle
should the battery in the vehicle or the RKE transmitter
go dead. The emergency key is also for locking the glove
box. You can keep the emergency key with you when
valet parking.
NOTE:Entering a vehicle using the emergency key with
the theft alarm armed, will results in the alarm sounding.
Insert the Fob (even if the Fob battery is dead) into the
WIN to disarm theft alarm.
To remove the emergency key from the RKE transmitter,
slide the mechanical latch at the top of the RKE transmit-
ter sideways with your thumb and then pull the key out
with your other hand. NOTE:
You can insert the double-sided emergency key
into the lock cylinders with either side up.
Ignition Key Removal
Place the shift lever in PARK. Turn the ignition key to the
LOCK position, and remove the key.

Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the
inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if
present, instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat

unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Do not leave the key in
the ignition. A child could operate power win-

starter motor will continue to run, and it will disengage
automatically when the engine is running. If the engine
fails to start, the starter will disengage automatically in
10 seconds. If this occurs, turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the
